Protect your NexusHost account with these security recommendations.

Use a password manager

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If using API access:

Never expose API keys in client-side code
Rotate keys regularly

Set IP restrictions when possible

Session Security

Log out from shared devices
Review active sessions regularly

Sessions are automatically invalidated on password change
