Secure and encrypted

Encrypted keys, secure sign in, and controls you manage.

Tradeify protects your sign-in and your broker keys. Your money stays at your broker. We protect the software.

How we protect the account

Locked broker keys

Alpaca API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM before we store them. You can disconnect the broker from broker settings, which removes the saved connection.

Protected connection

The site is served over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and Tradeify is encrypted.

Extra sign-in check

An authenticator app code is required for every account, including Google sign in. That extra code is how we confirm it is you.

Sign-in sessions

Your sign-in expires and refreshes on its own. The session does not hold your password.

Stored passwords

We store a scrambled version of your password. We never store the password itself.

Hosted safely

The app runs on managed servers, with a separate database and locked storage.

From sign-up to each visit

Here is how we keep your account secure from sign-up through each visit.

1

Create an account

We store a scrambled version of your password. You confirm your email before a paid plan.

2

Sign in

We check your email and password on our servers. A successful sign-in expires on its own.

3

Connect a broker

You paste Alpaca API keys into the app. We encrypt them with AES-256-GCM before we store them. Disconnect the broker in settings when you want those keys removed.

4

Each visit

We check your sign-in on every request. When it expires, we ask you to sign in again.
