Keeping Your Omega Market Account Secure

Most account losses are not the result of a sophisticated attack. They are the result of a reused password, a missing recovery code, or a session left open on a shared device. The good news is that all of those are preventable with a few habits that take minutes to set up.

The basics that matter

• Use a password for the market that you do not use anywhere else.
• Turn on two-factor authentication before you deposit anything.
• Write your 2FA recovery code down on paper and store it offline.
• Back up your private PGP key and keep it encrypted.
• Log out when you finish, especially on any device you do not fully control.

Why order matters

The single most common mistake is funding an account before securing it. If you deposit first and add 2FA later, there is a window where a lost password means a lost wallet. Do it in the other order. Create the account, turn on 2FA, write down the recovery code, and only then move money in.

Beyond the account itself, the network habits on the security page are what keep the whole thing coherent. A strong password on a leaked IP is only half protected. The layers are meant to work together.
