MEXC Account Settings: Security Menu Walkthrough

Create the Account First

New users: register via https://www.mexc.com/acquisition/custom-sign-up?shareCode=mexc-1QsQV (code mexc-1QsQV), then open profile → security before doing anything else.

Must-Enable Options

Authenticator-based 2FA, withdrawal confirmation by email or SMS, and device management all belong on from day one.

• Authenticator app 2FA
• Withdrawal whitelist
• Login alerts
• API key restrictions

The MEXC-Specific Setting Worth Extra Attention

Withdrawal whitelist plus an anti-phishing code, with extra verification sometimes triggered for newly-listed withdrawal assets — set this up before you rely on it under pressure, not during an incident.

Preferences

Set your display currency, theme, and language. Keep security emails on even if you disable marketing emails.

API Keys

Only create API keys if you actually run a bot or use MEXC's fast-track listing pipeline. Restrict IPs and disable withdrawal permission on the key.

Review Monthly

Check the device list and API key list on MEXC once a month — remove anything you no longer recognize.

What Makes MEXC Different Day to Day

MEXC's bigger differentiator is fast new-listing access — most people never look past the signup flow to notice it.

Layer that on top of the MX fee discount, and the cost picture on MEXC looks different from a generic exchange checklist.

MEXC Futures and Kickstarter-style token launches round out the product, but none of it replaces reading the live fee schedule before you size a trade.

• Watch for: buying a brand-new low-liquidity listing at an inflated first-hour price, then finding the order book too thin to exit cleanly
• Also watch for: assuming a token that listed first on MEXC will soon be everywhere else too, and over-sizing a position on that bet
• Security basics still apply: 2FA, withdrawal whitelist plus an anti-phishing code, with extra verification sometimes triggered for newly-listed withdrawal assets
