Hello.!

In this post, we will go over the security features that can help you enjoy games more safely.

Threats from outside parties trying to steal a player's valuable assets are always present,

so if you make good use of the various security features provided by Nexon,

you can enjoy your games more safely and with greater peace of mind,

so let us take a look at what features are available and how to manage and use them.

🔒Password

The most common security feature, and also the most essential one, is your password.

It is like the passcode to your front door at home, and it is something you have to set,

but although it is more important than many people realize, it can be easy to overlook because you use it in so many places.

For passwords, if you use one that combines special characters + uppercase/lowercase letters + numbers,

it becomes much harder for a hacker to figure out, which is why this type of password is widely recommended,

and some sites even require this combination as a standard rule.

However, you still need to be careful even when setting this kind of password.

In particular, if you use the same password as on other sites,

the risk of being hacked can increase significantly.

If that password is leaked from another site where you use the same one,

someone may try logging in to your other accounts using that same password,

which can lead to a chain of account breaches and real damage.

(I actually went through this myself.)

For that reason, if possible, I recommend using 3 to 4 different password combinations,

and if that feels like too much, another good option is to add or change

some letters or special characters in the middle of your password.

🔒Secondary Password

This is the secondary password, which has become an essential feature in many Nexon games.

It works like a second layer of protection that stops access one more time even if your main password has been compromised,

and it is linked not only to game login, but also to functions such as crafting, dismantling, and locking certain items, etc.

for actions that require identity verification,

and it is the final security measure that can even lock your account after multiple incorrect attempts.

Of course, it usually has a simple structure of around 4 digits,

but even so, rather than using 1111, 1234, or 0000, setting it to numbers that are meaningful to you

can help you avoid the worst-case scenario of having everything compromised.

🪪Security Services

(Nexon Cash Lock, Verification Blocking, ID Creation Lock, etc.)

In addition to the basic features above,

there are also security services you can enable for extra peace of mind.

These can be configured in the Nexon Security Center,

a feature that blocks overseas login attempts altogether

a feature that blocks verification attempts through carriers you do not use

a feature that blocks ID creation under your name

a feature that blocks the use of your Nexon Cash in other Nexon games

and more..

There are quite a few useful features included.

In particular, because they can block attempts to create IDs or steal accounts using your identity at the source,

they can prevent situations where you log in to a game you do not even play one day and find that someone has created an ID and is playing under your name.

This can help prevent that kind of incident. (This also comes from personal experience.)

🔐Nexon OTP (NEXON Play)

To enjoy games more safely,

using the NEXON Play app and Nexon OTP provided by Nexon is also a very good option.

By entering Nexon OTP in addition when logging in to a game,

it verifies that the person logging in really is the player who has the smartphone,

so it is one of the most reliable security features available.

Of course, because you need to enter Nexon OTP every time you log in to a game,

it may feel slightly inconvenient or bothersome,

but in some ways, it is a feature that protects you several times more securely and reliably than a password,

so I strongly recommend using it.

(With the Designated Device feature, you can set a frequently used PC so that it does not require Nexon OTP,

so if you use this well, you stay comfortable while hackers have a harder time accessing your game.)

Because this method can feel inconvenient and requires smartphone-based verification, some people choose not to set up Nexon OTP

and instead share their games and accounts, which can lead to problems such as item theft and hacking,

and in those cases, this may violate the terms and the recovery policy, which means you may not be able to receive restoration support,

so I strongly recommend that you never share your account.

++

If you are hacked without having Nexon OTP enabled, support may help with restoration only once, on the first occurrence.

However, after that, there is a very high chance that you will not be protected under the operating policy,

so setting up OTP is essential.

🔍 One-Time Login

If you need to log in at a PC bang or only on a temporary basis,

and you are concerned that your ID/password might be saved automatically or leave traces behind,

the One-Time Login feature in NEXON Play can help.

(You can find it through Menu → One-Time Login.)

When logging in to Nexon, if you click the One-Time Login option,

a window appears where you enter a total of 8 digits instead of your ID/password,

and if you enter the 8 digits shown in the One-Time Login section of NEXON Play at that point,

you can log in easily.

Because it changes to a random number every 60 seconds, it is both very secure and convenient,

so it can help keep your account safe even when you are logging in from outside locations.

That covers several features and tips that can help protect your Nexon account.

Since the risk of hacking is always there and attacks can happen suddenly at any time,

it is worth preparing in advance

so you can keep your hard-earned characters and in-game assets safe.!
