3. Secure your BTC-Alpha account by setting a 2FA

In the world of cryptocurrency, protecting your account is highly recommended. Securing your account means setting a Two-factor Authentication or what commonly known as 2FA.

Two-factor authentication aka 2FA or TFA is a higher level of protection to ensure that the real user is the one trying to gain access to his or her account. This also keeps your account inaccessible by the web thieves.

2FA is composed of 1. the account owner’s username and password and 2. a piece of information the account owner knows, has or is, which includes OTPs sent to your mobile phone,  PINs, answers to “security questions,” or a biometric pattern of a fingerprint.

For cryptocurrency exchanges, the second factor is a code found in applications like Authy, Google Authenticator or can be received through SMS straight to the user’s mobile phone. We suggest you download the Google Authenticator app from Google Play or App Store for a more straightforward process and then go through the steps on this item.

To set 2FA on BTC-Alpha, go to your profile settings, select “Security,” go to “Two Factor Auth,” and click on “Enable Two-Factor Authentication.”
