Password requirements
Your password must be at least 8 characters long. We strongly recommend using a unique password that you don't use on other websites.
Password Best Practices
| Practice | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Use 12+ characters | Longer passwords are significantly harder to crack |
| Mix character types | Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols |
| Don't reuse passwords | A breach on another site won't compromise TradeTorq |
| Use a password manager | Generates and stores strong, unique passwords |
Session Management
When you change your password:
- Your current session stays active
- All other sessions are invalidated
- You'll need to log in again on other devices
MT5 Credential Security
Your MT5 account credentials (login, password, server) are handled securely:
- Credentials are encrypted and stored in AWS Secrets Manager
- They are never displayed in plain text in the app
- Only the account number and broker name are shown on the Accounts page
- Credentials are used solely by the farm agent to connect your MT5 terminal
Your MT5 password is safe
TradeTorq staff cannot see your MT5 passwords. They are encrypted at rest and in transit, and only the automated farm agent uses them to connect to your broker.
Forgot Password
If you've forgotten your password and can't log in:
- Go to the login page
- Click Forgot password?
- Enter your email address
- Check your inbox for a reset link
- Click the link and set a new password
The reset link expires after 1 hour for security.
