Wondering what 2FA is?

Two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA) is a type (subset) of multi-factor authentication. It is a method of confirming a user’s claimed identity by utilizing a combination of two different factors: 1) something they know, 2) something they have, or 3) something they are.

An excellent example of two-factor authentication is the withdrawing of money from an ATM; only the correct combination of a bank card (something that the user possesses) and a PIN (personal identification number, something that the user knows) allows the transaction to be carried out.

In the case of exchanges what the user knows are the login details username and password and what he possesses is the 2nd factor for the authentication which is a code.The code can be either received through SMS on users personal mobile phone or found in an application like Google Authenticator or Authy.   

Either manually enter the key in the Google Authenticator app or scan the QR code.Either way, please write down for Safekeeping the OTP ( one time password for Google Authenticator ) so that in the event you need to reset it you have this. Please consider this as a master key. Without it, you cannot reset in case something happens.

Once you do this scan or manual input a single time, a one time password will be generated, that you need to write/copy in the One-time password empty field.

More details on how to use Google Authenticator here.

You can use Google Authenticator or Authy to scan the code.

Once you check the boxes relating to your security preference please click ‘Enable’.
