Strong password strategies against common attacks
– Creating a password that resists common attacks
Start with a passphrase that contains at least 12 random characters. Include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and symbols such as @, #, $. A sequence like G7!bR9%kL2&d defeats many automated guessing tools within seconds.
Recent reports show that 95 % of credential leaks involve passwords shorter than 10 characters or composed of dictionary words. Attackers can test one million guesses per second on modern hardware, meaning a 10‑character password may be cracked in under an hour, while a 12‑character random passphrase extends the cracking time to years.
Use a reputable password manager to generate and store unique passwords for every account. The manager creates strings with entropy above 80 bits, which manual creation rarely achieves. When a service offers two‑factor authentication, enable it; the extra verification step stops attackers even if the password leaks.
Avoid obvious substitutions like “P@ssw0rd!” or personal information such as birthdays and pet names. Patterns that appear in public data are quickly filtered by breach‑checking services. Instead, rely on true randomness; a set of words chosen from a large list (e.g., “galaxy‑mixer‑9‑tornado”) provides both memorability and resistance.
Setting up two‑factor authentication (2FA) for your account
Activate 2FA immediately from the security section of your service; a single click adds a layer that blocks most automated credential‑stuffing attacks.
Inside the security menu, Aviator select “Two‑factor authentication” and choose an authenticator app over SMS because time‑based one‑time passwords (TOTP) generated by apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator are not vulnerable to carrier‑side interception. If the platform supports hardware tokens (U2F/FIDO2), prefer them for accounts that store financial data.
Download the authenticator app on your smartphone.
Open the app, tap “Add new account,” and scan the QR code displayed on the website.
Record the printed backup codes in a password manager; treat them as a secondary password.
Log out, then log back in using your password followed by the 6‑digit code generated by the app.
Confirm that recovery options (email, phone) are up‑to‑date.
Store backup codes offline–preferably in an encrypted note or a physical safe–and refresh the authenticator app after major OS updates to avoid sync issues. For high‑value services, add a U2F security key (e.g., YubiKey) as a second factor; it requires physical presence and protects against phishing clones. Review enabled factors quarterly and disable any method you no longer use.
Completing KYC verification without delays
Prepare a digital copy of your government‑issued ID before you begin the KYC process; a ready file eliminates the first pause.
Capture the image in a well‑lit environment; avoid shadows that could obscure numbers or holograms. A 1080p smartphone camera typically meets the clarity requirement.
Include a live selfie that matches the ID photo; the system compares facial landmarks within a 0.5‑second window, so a clear, forward‑facing shot prevents the fallback to manual review.
Attach a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 30 days; documents older than that trigger a secondary check and extend processing time.
Save files as JPEG or PNG, keep the resolution between 300‑600 dpi, and ensure each file stays under 2 MB; larger files are rejected automatically, forcing a re‑upload.
Verify that expiration dates on passports and driver’s licenses are at least six months beyond the current date; expired papers cause immediate rejection.
Use a private Wi‑Fi network and enable two‑factor authentication on your account before uploading; this reduces the chance of interception and avoids additional security flags.

Best practices for handling login on public or shared computers
Log out completely every time you finish a session; do not rely on the automatic timeout feature. Click the “Log out” button, close the browser window, and verify that the login page reappears before leaving the workstation.
Activate private or incognito mode before entering credentials. This mode disables history storage, prevents cookies from persisting across sessions, and clears temporary files when the window closes, reducing the chance that the next user will see residual data.
Enable two‑factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts accessed from shared machines. Even if the device records your password, the attacker still needs the second factor–typically a code sent to your phone or generated by an app–to gain entry.
After finishing, clear the browser’s cache, saved passwords, and autofill entries. On Windows, use Shift + Delete to erase recent items; on macOS, open the “Clear History” menu. If possible, bring a personal password manager on a USB drive and avoid saving passwords on the public computer entirely.
