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

What is 2FA?
Two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA, is an extra layer of security or added protection which we refer to as multi-factor authentication. Not only the username and password are required but also a piece of information that only a user possesses. This process is to confirm a user’s claimed identity.

The 2FA process helps lessen the number of identity theft cases and as well as phishing via email. It would be harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal someone’s identity and personal data without that piece of information that only the account owner knows.

In the case of exchanges, what the user has are his/her login details such as the username and password. The form of 2FA that a user possesses for this instance is a token or code. The code can be received either through SMS on a user’s mobile phone or via applications like Google Authenticator or Authy.

For this step, we will show you how to enable 2FA using the Google Authenticator.  On your Profile page, which is the same page where you changed your password, hit on the ‘Enable’ button.

You have to download the ‘Google Authenticator’ first on your smartphone to initiate the process. Once installed scan the QR code provided by Changelly on your smartphone. Doing so will add Changelly and allows the app to generate the 6-digit code. Aside from scanning the code, you can also type in the ‘Key’ manually which is the one provided just below the QR code.

Type in your password and the 6-digit code generated by Google Authenticator. Finish the step by clicking on the ‘Enable’ button.
