Security Features and Authentication
OctaFX prioritizes account security for Nigerian traders through several layers of protection. All data during login uses 256-bit SSL encryption, securing communication between your device and our servers. We offer optional two-factor authentication (2FA), requiring a one-time code to verify identity. Our system monitors IP addresses for unusual login attempts, alerting users and blocking suspicious activity.

| IP Address Monitoring | Automated alerts | Detects suspicious access attempts |
| Session Management | Auto-logout on inactivity | Prevents unauthorized use on shared devices |
Password Strength Requirements
Passwords must be at least eight characters long, combining uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. This reduces risks from brute force attacks common in online trading. Avoid using personal information or common Nigerian terms to ensure complexity. We encourage regular password updates to maintain account integrity.

After five failed login attempts, accounts are temporarily locked for 30 minutes to prevent brute-force attacks. Repeat violations result in extended lockouts. Nigerian users can contact support to verify identity and regain access faster. This policy balances security with user convenience.
Secure Session Practices
Sessions automatically expire after 15 minutes of inactivity. This feature protects accounts accessed from public or shared Nigerian computers. Always log out manually when finished trading on public devices to secure your account.
