# Account Security Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do I secure my Kash account?">
    **Comprehensive Security Checklist**

    **X Account Security (Critical):**

    * **Enable 2FA:** Use authenticator app or SMS verification
    * **Strong Password:** Use unique, complex password for X
    * **Monitor Sessions:** Regularly check active login sessions
    * **Verify Emails:** Be cautious of phishing emails claiming to be from X

    **Kash-Specific Security:**

    * **Verify Bot:** Only interact with verified @kash\_bot account
    * **Check URLs:** Always verify kash.bot domain before login
    * **Monitor Notifications:** Review all transaction notifications
    * **Regular Reviews:** Check account activity and balances regularly

    **Device and Network Security:**

    * **Secure Devices:** Use updated, secure devices for access
    * **Private Networks:** Avoid public WiFi for account access
    * **Browser Security:** Keep browsers updated and use secure extensions
    * **Antivirus Software:** Maintain updated security software

    **Advanced Security Measures:**

    * Monitor account activity regularly
    * Use hardware security keys when available
    * Regularly update all passwords and security settings
    * Be aware of social engineering attempts
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do session keys and spending limits work?">
    **Advanced Wallet Security Features**

    **Session Keys:**

    * **Temporary Authorization:** Allow the Kash protocol to permissionlessly execute small predictions on your behalf
    * **Limited Scope:** Only for prediction actions, not withdrawals or large transactions
    * **Time Limits:** Sessions expire automatically after predetermined periods
    * **Revocable:** You can revoke session access at any time through your X account

    **Spending Limits:**

    * **Daily Limits:** Maximum amount that can be predicted per day through automated sessions
    * **Transaction Limits:** Maximum size per individual prediction without manual approval
    * **Customizable:** You can adjust limits based on your comfort level
    * **Override Protection:** Large transactions always require explicit authorization

    **How It Works:**

    ```
    Example: $50 daily limit, $20 per transaction
    - "YES $15" → Executes automatically via session key
    - "YES $25" → Requires manual approval due to limit
    - Total daily predictions > $50 → Manual approval required
    ```

    **Security Benefits:**

    * **Convenience without Risk:** Fast prediction for small amounts, security for large ones
    * **Granular Control:** You decide exactly what the bot can do automatically
    * **Audit Trail:** All session activity is logged and reviewable
    * **Emergency Revocation:** Instantly disable all automated access if needed

  Security is a shared responsibility. While Kash provides robust security infrastructure, users must follow best practices to protect their accounts and funds. Never share account credentials or private information.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Your security depends primarily on your X account security. The combination of MPC wallet technology, Base network security, and strong X account practices creates multiple layers of protection for your funds.
