# Overview

At Xendit, we take security seriously because protecting your business is paramount. We employ robust measures like Two-factor Authentication (2FA), granular user permissions, and secure API keys to safeguard your account and sensitive information.

**Here's why account security is important:**

- Prevents unauthorized access: Malicious actors could gain access to your data or make payments using your Xendit account.
- Maintains trust with customers: Customers expect their payment information to be safe.

## **How you can optimize your security**

- **Two-factor authentication (2FA):** Adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone in addition to your password.
- **User permissions:** Control who can access different parts of your Xendit account.
- **API Keys:** Restrict access to your Xendit account through APIs.
- **Secure integration practices:**Protect your integration by employing integration security best practices.

**Follow these best practices to further enhance your account security:**

- **Use a strong password:** Create a password that is at least 8 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- **Don't share your password with anyone:** This includes writing it down or storing it electronically in an insecure way.
- **Be cautious of phishing emails:** These emails try to trick you into revealing your personal information.
- **Enable 2FA**: This is the most important security measure you can take.
- Monitor your account activity: Regularly review your account activity for any suspicious activity.
