  One way to protect your KuCoin API secret from unauthorized access is to use a secure server to store your secret. Make sure to encrypt the secret and store it in a secure location. Additionally, you can implement IP whitelisting to restrict access to your API secret only from trusted IP addresses. Regularly monitor your API usage and review access logs to detect any suspicious activity.

  To protect your KuCoin API secret, you can also enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your account. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step, such as a unique code generated by a mobile app, in addition to your password. By enabling 2FA, even if someone manages to obtain your API secret, they would still need the second factor to access your account.

  At BYDFi, we understand the importance of protecting your API secret. One way to enhance security is by regularly updating your API secret and rotating it. This ensures that even if your API secret is compromised, the window of vulnerability is minimized. Additionally, consider using a dedicated API key for each application or service you use, as this allows you to easily revoke access for specific keys if needed.
