Are there any alternatives to the 2FA code on KuCoin for securing my account?

I'm concerned about the security of my KuCoin account and I'm wondering if there are any other options besides the 2FA code for securing it. Are there any alternative methods or additional security measures I can use to protect my account?

    Sure thing! While the 2FA code is a widely used method for securing KuCoin accounts, there are indeed alternatives available. One alternative is using a mobile authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy, instead of relying on SMS-based 2FA. Mobile authenticator apps generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) that are more secure and less susceptible to SIM swapping attacks. Another option is using a hardware security key, like a YubiKey, which offers strong two-factor authentication. These physical devices provide an extra layer of protection by requiring you to physically insert the key and authenticate yourself. Remember to choose the alternative that best suits your needs and always keep your security measures up to date.
