I am new to this forum and have not learned anything yet. I don't see the account security in this forum, I opened the account and got no email notification, I logged in again and still no email notification. I think security should have been given while making this account.
When in Rome do as the Romans we have our way of securing our account and you have to follow what members are doing here to secure their account, get a strong password, be sure you have a clean PC, and stake your wallet here in case there is an intrusion to your account, people here can easily validate your account and it's your way to recover your account too.
Security should start with the user there's no need to worry about why no email is coming when registering, you will get notified when you receive a personal message or get your post deleted just be sure to whitewash the Bitcointalk notification, everything is working perfectly here you just have to adapt to this community and you are good to go.

You are correct that is why you need to choose a very strong password that could be too hard for people especially your friends to memorize or remember. There has been lots of discussion to increase and implement some functionality to protect account against hack but there was no attention given to it because that isn't the sole purpose but rather is an open place for people to get access to their details whenever it's being misplaced. So I suggest you can change password and choose a more complicated one so that it will be too difficult to hack.

As much as there are no security tools, they are good for those who want to enhance their privacy. You do not need an email to log in here, but you do need it if you want to recover your account. To secure your account, you need to prepare a strong password. Make sure that you can access the email associated with the account and sign a message with the Bitcoin address. Make sure someone else has quoted it.
There is no benefit from hacking Bitcoin accounts, so most hacker attacks are for blackmail, or using the account to join signature campaigns.
^second all that
Download a password manager like Bitwarden. Use an encrypted email service. Make a pc only account (main account) and one for cellular use (that is if it will be used less often). That way if your phone is sim swapped it won’t be for your main account and you can post on here not to trust your mobile account now because of it. If it’s a low ranking lightly used account hackers won’t want it anyhow. Also the staking a btc account as others have mentioned. Doing all this is more than enough security. 2FA would be nice though.

You won't get account security settings on Bitcointalk as you would see on your social media accounts — we do things a little bit differently here. Choose a strong password, then stake and sign here[1] using your bitcoin wallet address.

You won't receive an email notification upon logging in, and there is no option to do so. There is only the option to receive an email when somebody replies to your post (or in specific threads) or sends you a PM. There is also no 2-FA for the forum, meaning you will have to take good care of your login credentials (don't store them online, for starters).
These options can be found by clicking on Profile, then "Notifications and Email".
