We work hard to keep your shares and money safe,  you can also do a few things to make sure your account is secure:

You’re responsible for creating secure passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication can prevent 99.9% of cyberattacks and can give you extra protection against hackers. It’s your responsibility to use strong passwords and set up two-factor authentication. Password jokes are a dime a dozen, but security is serious business. Always:

  • Use different passwords for every website and app you use

  • Make passwords long and hard to guess using upper and lowercase, numbers and symbols (Stonk$21 would take 8 hours to crack, IAmaR0ck$tarW3bB0S$4lyF3 would take 7 quadrillion years!)

  • Consider using a password manager app like LastPass or 1Password.

Should things go wrong, we can immediately disable accounts when we’re made aware of an issue - just email our team at hello@hatchinvest.nz.
