PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR BROWSER

E*TRADE uses features that may not be supported by your current browser and
might not work as intended. For the best user experience, please use an updated
browser.


SECURITY CENTER

 

Your account security is important to us. In addition to the ways your assets
are protected, the E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley Complete Protection Guarantee
means you're not liable for unauthorized use of your account, and we'll never
sell your personal information. Period.


HOW WE WORK TO HELP SECURE YOUR ACCOUNT

We use security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and dedicated fraud
protection teams, and we offer multi-factor authentication to help secure your
account.


FRAUD PROTECTION

We’ll cover any loss that results from the unauthorized use of our brokerage,
banking, or lending services.1


PRIVACY PROTECTION

We will not sell your personal information to third parties or marketers for any
purpose. See our U.S. Privacy Policy and Notice to learn more.


ENCRYPTION AND NETWORK DEFENSES

Our layered defense systems and encryption help protect your personal
information.


TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

This extra layer of security requires two separate forms of identification each
time you log on to your account. See how it works


SECURITY ALERTS

Get instant notifications for transactions in your account, as well as stock,
news, and portfolio alerts. To ensure prompt access, we recommend that you set
your delivery preferences to receive your alerts via email. If we suspect your
account has been the target of fraud, we'll send you a high-priority security
alert.


TAKE THESE ADDITIONAL STEPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF:

 * Your E*TRADE logon
 * Mobile devices
 * Your identity
 * Personal computers


YOUR E*TRADE LOGON

 * Passwords must contain a combination of numbers, uppercase characters, and
   lowercase characters (special characters are also allowed)
 * Passwords should not contain names, common words, or numerical sequences
   (e.g., 111, 123, ETRADE123)
 * Ensure that your E*TRADE username and password differ from those you use for
   other online accounts and change your password periodically
 * Avoid using sensitive personal information (such as your Social Security
   number) as your username
 * While we may contact you about your account, we will never ask for your
   password. Never share your password.
 * Always log out of your account and close your browser after each session


MOBILE DEVICES

 * Malicious software isn't just for computers. Make sure you download
   applications from trusted sources.
 * Keep your operating system up to date to ensure the highest level of
   protection
 * Exercise caution when using wireless internet, especially at coffee shops,
   hotels, and other free Wi-Fi hotspots


YOUR IDENTITY

 * Review your account statements regularly to ensure that there is no
   unauthorized activity 
 * Enroll in Electronic Document Delivery to have your account statements and
   trade confirmations in a secure location to eliminate the possibility of mail
   theft
 * Review your credit reports regularly. Visit annualcreditreport.com to request
   a free annual credit report.
 * Limit carrying any unnecessary credit cards or your Social Security card
 * Be careful when providing personal, private, and payment information online
   and on social networks


PERSONAL COMPUTERS

 * Protect your computer by using an internet security suite such as anti-virus
   and malware detection software  
 * Be suspicious of email attachments from unknown sources, as well as emails
   that convey a sense of urgency, asking you to click links or download
   attachments. Instead of clicking links in emails, you can always go directly
   to an organization's website by typing its address into your browser.
 * Verify the legitimacy of emails by calling the sending organization directly
   through a trusted contact number before you click links or open attachments
 * Consider using a dedicated computer for your online banking and trading
