How to Best Secure Your Account

Security is the most important feature for us to maintain and protect on Cardmarket. You store, your money and a lot of valuable personal information on Cardmarket. We use a variety of methods to ensure the safety of your data, but there are steps laid out below that you can take to secure your account more fully.

It may seem obvious, but when you use Cardmarket every day, you're used to opening up pictures, or clicking on links when communicating with users. Remember that this is the internet and not everyone is acting in good faith. Some people might try to gain access to your accounts through links or attachments, or by claiming they are Cardmarket customer support.

We will never ask you to open a link or attachment in a private message and we will not ask you for personal and financial information through private messages. Be vigilant and only open links or attachments if you're absolutely sure that they are safe. If you receive a suspicious message, do not respond or click on any links or attachments. Instead, report them immediately to our customer support so we can take appropriate action. Your security is our top priority.

Two-Factor Authentication is, without a doubt, the best way to secure and protect any internet account. By requiring confirmation on a device you own and have on you - your phone - no one can access your account without your knowledge, even if they have your password. It is not mandatory to enable it on Cardmarket, but we cannot recommend it highly enough. You can check out the page below for more information and can activate 2FA on this page (must be logged in).

Using a strong password (lowercase and capital letters; numbers; symbols) will make it much harder for people to brute force your account password if they get ahold of your username. You can check out the page below for some tips on creating a strong password and some general guidelines on healthy communication online!
