Hi to all.
I had an impression that the frequent password input was not necessary, which can cause some security issues. I went ahead and set up two-factor authentication, however, it did not ask me to perform such an action after my logging out and logging back in again. As a newbie,what preventive measures should one have in place to make sure that their accounts are not defrauded or scammed?
Which of the account? You didn't specify the account you're emphasizing on, because I know quite well that if you're emphasizing on a forum account many persons will be solutions to it very fast, are you emphasizing on exchange accounts or you're emphasizing on casino, it's base on the particular account you mention people will suggest the solutions of getting rids of scam from you, I know that scammers can't attack a newbie account of btt, but if it's an exchange accounts or trading account, scammers can attack those accounts that will require you to think of using authenticator, so will like you elaborate in detail so that your question will be well understood.
Since the post mentioned newbie, I think the emphasis is on forum account and like you said, scammers or hackers will have no interest in a newbie account but higher levels of forum accounts.
I have the feeling that OP meant to say how to protect the account as a newbie and if this be the case, the simple answer is to read the forum rules and avoid breaking them, that way the account will be protected. The greatest challenge of newbie accounts is plagiarism and the use of AI as well as spamming, if they can avoid these, then they are already 50% safe.
