Securing Your Account
Here is the revised list of 9 recommendations to improve the security of your Protocol account:
Use a unique email address and password for your account.
To create a strong password, consider using a password manager like LastPass or KeePass. This can help you easily keep track of your passwords and create complex, secure passwords.
Enable 2FA on your Protocol account.
This adds an extra layer of protection to your account in case your password is compromised.
Always verify the domain address you visit: https://ex.nexuspb.com.
Phishing sites may mimic Protocol's domain or website to trick you into revealing your personal details. Make sure you are visiting the official site.
Do not click on links or open unknown attachments in emails unless you are certain they were sent by Protocol.

Secure your email account and phone, and use PGP.

Subscribe to a good antivirus software and keep it updated.
Secure your internet connection.
Always use a wired connection when possible. If you must use WiFi, consider routing your traffic through a VPN.
