Account security is the cornerstone of privacy on Torzon. Even a small mistake — like reusing a password or skipping PGP login — can compromise your entire identity. This guide shows you how to lock down your account, prevent leaks, and stay safe from phishing or admin impersonation.

🔑 1. Use PGP Authentication (Instead of Passwords)

PGP authentication is the most secure login option available on Torzon.
Instead of typing your password, you decrypt a signed message from the server using your private key — verifying you’re the real owner.

Steps to Enable PGP Login:

  1. Log in with your password once.

  2. Go to Account → Security Settings.

  3. Paste your public PGP key.

  4. Enable “Use PGP Login.”

  5. Save and log out.

Next time you log in, Torzon will show you an encrypted message:

 

—–BEGIN PGP MESSAGE—–
Version: GnuPG v2

—–END PGP MESSAGE—–

🧠 2. Create Strong, Untraceable Passwords

Even with PGP, passwords still matter for backup access.
Avoid anything predictable — especially reusing credentials from other markets.

Password Rules:

  • Minimum 16 characters (use symbols, uppercase, and numbers).

  • Avoid names, birthdays, or reused handles.

  • Store offline in an encrypted USB drive.

  • Never type your password in plaintext chats.

⚠️ Avoid password managers on clearnet devices — they can leak your master key.

🧩 3. Enable Two-Step PGP Verification for Messages

Every important Torzon message (e.g., vendor payments, admin alerts) should be PGP-verified twice:

  • Once by the sender.

  • Once by the receiver.

This double verification prevents impersonation or message tampering.

Checklist for Secure Messaging:

  • Verify every admin or vendor message PGP signature.

  • Only reply to messages signed with the correct fingerprint.

  • Never paste your private key anywhere.

🧾 Reminder: A “PGP signed message” proves authenticity — a “PGP encrypted message” keeps content secret.

🔒 4. Avoid Phishing & Impersonation Traps

Scammers often create fake login pages or impersonate staff to steal your credentials.

Red Flags:

  • Login forms that don’t show “onion” domains.

  • Admins contacting you outside the market.

  • Offers like “free mirror” or “auto deposit link.”

Safe Practice:

  • Always verify the onion URL via Torzon’s official mirror list.

  • Bookmark trusted links only.

  • Never click login pages sent through chat or forums.

⚠️ If a message feels off, verify its PGP signature before responding.

🕶️ 5. Hide Your Identity Completely

To stay truly anonymous:

  • Access Torzon only through Tor Browser (no clearnet VPNs).

  • Consider using Tails OS for clean sessions.

  • Never log in from the same IP repeatedly.

  • Disable JavaScript inside Tor Browser.

  • Clear all session data after each visit.

💡 Pro Tip: Combine Tor + Tails + Monero for maximum anonymity.

🧩 6. Account Recovery & Backup

If you lose access to your PGP key or forget your password:

  • You can recover your account only if you saved your recovery phrase.

  • Go to Account → Recovery.

  • Enter your 12-word phrase (offline mode).

If your PGP key is lost without a recovery phrase — your account cannot be restored.

🔐 Security Philosophy: If it can be reset easily, it can be hacked easily.

Conclusion

Your account is your identity. Protect it like your wallet.
By using PGP authentication, avoiding phishing, and maintaining strict OpSec, you ensure that your Torzon profile stays untouchable — even in a hostile network.
