3. Secure your QuadrigaCX account by setting a 2-factor authentication (2FA)

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.

So, to get to the 2FA section, please click on your “Registered name” located at the upper right-hand corner and then click on Profile Settings.

Activate the “Google Authenticator” by changing the status to Active.

Install the “Google Authenticator” on your smartphone or tablet. After installing you will need to configure the application to work with QuadrigaCX by scanning the QR code or by typing the secret code.

After scanning the QR code, a 6-digit code will appear which you need to enter inside the “Enable” box.

See here for more details regarding the Google Authenticator.

Two-Factor Authentication is now successfully enabled on your QuadrigaCX Account!

Important Reminder: An “Emergency Reset Code” will be provided which is vital if you lose your secondary 2FA device. Save or print this for your perusal.
