What’s freezing an account?
Freezing an account is an AscendEX feature used to enhance users’ account security. When there is an account issue, users can utilize the “Freeze Account” function to disable the following account functions: login, trading, withdrawal and API for protecting account security. Freezing an account will lead to:
- The login, trading and API functions being disabled.
- All pending withdrawals and open orders will be canceled.
The following are the steps to freeze an account:
1. Users should log in to their AscendEX account on their app and click the profile icon on the upper left of the homepage.
2. On the personal center page, click [Security Setting].
3. On the Security Setting page, click [Freeze Account].
4. Users need to confirm to freeze account on the Freeze Account page by checking “I fully understand the consequences of freezing my account.” Furthermore, users can check “Freeze all sub-accounts” if necessary.
