This will require you to provide your email address and complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/what-is-kyc-and-why-do-crypto-exchanges-require-it\/\">KYC (know your customer)<\/a> procedure to verify your identity, as it applies to most crypto exchanges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Make_A_Deposit\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Make A Deposit<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon the verification of your account and identity, you must fund your wallet on the preferred crypto exchange. This depends on the payment methods that the platform supports. For instance, you can deposit a Canadian dollar into your wallet through <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/major-difference-between-prepaid-cards-debit-cards-and-credit-cards\/\">credit\/debit cards<\/a> and wire transfers.

Prioritise the following safety practices:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2FA adds another level of security to your exchange login. So that even if someone tries to log in using your password, they cannot actually access your account without your unique authentication code. Many traders use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy because they provide strong protection against unauthorised access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Withdraw to a Private Wallet<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you store your Litecoin on an exchange, you are exposed to risks associated with that platform, like hacks, outages, or custodial freezes. On the other hand, when you store your LTC in a private wallet, whether hardware or noncustodial,\u00a0 you have full control of your keys, and your security is guaranteed in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Verify Website URLs Before Logging In<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of traders still lose funds to phishing attacks. Always make sure that you\u2019re on the official exchange domain before entering your login credentials. Bookmark the official websites and don\u2019t click links that are sent to you by unknown people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Trading<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you use <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/troubleshoot-hotel-wi-fi-not-working-travel\">public Wi-Fi<\/a> networks to make your trades, there is a high chance that your data might be sniffed and your session hijacked. Always carry out your trades or access your exchange wallet using a secure, private internet connection. If you need to, use a reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/top-10-free-vpns-nigerians\">VPN<\/a> to make sure that you are actually protected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5.
