Your Exporters.SG account is the gateway to your international trade activity. Follow these nine best practices to keep it secure from unauthorised access and phishing attacks.
9 Essential Account Security Tips
Tip 1
Keep your credentials private
Never share your Exporters.SG username or password with anyone — including colleagues or business partners.
Tip 2
Use a strong password
Avoid easily guessed passwords such as your name, company name, or simple number sequences. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Tip 3
Change your password regularly
Update your password periodically — at least every three to six months — to reduce the risk from any undetected breach.
Tip 4
Sign in regularly
Log in to your account frequently to check for any unexpected activity or unauthorised changes.
Tip 5
Avoid shared computers
Do not access your Exporters.SG account on public computers (e.g. internet cafes, hotel lobbies). If you must, log out and close the browser when done.
Tip 6
Ignore credential-request emails
Do not click links in emails that ask for your password or personal information. Exporters.SG will never ask you for your password by email.
Tip 7 & 8
Verify HTTPS before logging in
Always type https://www.exporters.sg directly into your browser. Confirm you see a padlock icon and the correct URL before entering any credentials.
Tip 9
Keep anti-virus software current
Ensure your device is protected with up-to-date anti-virus software and run scans regularly to detect malware or keyloggers.
How to Verify You Are on the Real Exporters.SG Site
Before entering your login credentials, confirm your browser shows: https://www.exporters.sg
A padlock icon confirms the connection is encrypted (HTTPS). If the padlock is missing, or the URL differs in any way, do not log in - you may be on a fraudulent site.
