No matter what decision COSS exchange will take I call other exchanges to add an extra security feature to protect user’s funds. TRADING PASSWORD. This will prevent anybody to sell user’s assets on the low liquidity markets for cents even if the password was compromised and exchange grants brute force attacks.

I’m not promoting anybody, just facts:
Bitfinex doesn’t have it
Binance doesn’t have it
Poloniex doesn’t have it
Gate.io HAS IT.

I'm glad this worked out for you!  I can't believe things like this are still happening.  I programmed an exchange back in 2012-2013 (BTC Trading Corp) which had both failed login brute force protection and per-trade 2FA, which was awesome with Yubikey support.  (not great for Google Auth - very time consuming - but at least SAFE)

I'll point our devs for our upcoming new exchange at this post - good for them to see why these things are important!

Cheers
