Why crypto exchanges ask this
Account security messages must arrive instantly, worldwide. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when withdrawal confirmations, device alerts and login codes stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is account takeovers stopped before they complete. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
