Newbies have been warned several times not to leave coins on exchanges, my question today is about exchange security and I'm going to use binance as an example
1st Question: binance exchange and few top exchanges I've used has finger print scanner under security settings, I want to know if this can only safe me from people around me or also online hackers, both withdrawal and deposit requires my thumb print, how good is this ?
2nd Question: my second question is almost same thing as the first, which is 2FA, it's part of my security settings that login, deposit and withdrawal requires 2FA codes too, how tight is this from hackers? And of course people around me ? Thank you
Note: I'm not planning to leave my coins on exchanges, not that stupid but I'm a full time trader and I use binance so I just want to know
If you are speaking of big exchange like binance they are very much secure compare to small time exchange. What you need is double security like 2FA along with finger print. It's always safer to use as much security settings as possible and these days reputable exchanges will make sure that you set them up before you can start trading.
IF you want best securyt you want to go with hardware wallet instead which is much more safer than exchange wallet.
