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.
In this step, we will activate 2FA on your BitInka account through the Google Authenticator app. To start, go to the ‘Security’ page located on the left panel.
Check this if you want to learn more about Google Authenticator.
Hit on ‘To accept’ button to proceed.
Click on the ‘Enable two-factor authentication’ button.
After installing the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone, you will have to scan the QR code. The app will generate a 6-digit code which you need to type in on the box provided. Click ‘Enable two-factor’ button to complete this step.
Note: If you’re having a hard time scanning the code, you can also opt to add your BitInka account on the Google Authenticator app by typing in your Authentication key.
Click ‘To accept’ to proceed to the next step.
Funding your BitInka account can be done using different fiat currencies. Here, we will show you how to do it.
On the left panel, click ‘Wallet’ and then ‘Money’ to access the Deposit page.
Choose your preferred fiat currency and hit on the ‘Deposit’ button beside the currency of your choice. On the next page, you will have to select an option to which you want to get the funds. The most commonly used method is through a bank transfer. After this, input the amount you wish to top up, click on the ‘Total’ field, view the amount to be deposited and hit Enter. You will receive an email with the details of the ‘To Be Deposited’ bank accounts.
To verify your deposit you need to go to the Portfolio section> Deposit> currency of your deposit and then click on Verify. Provide the required information, attach the voucher and hit on Save. Your deposit confirmation and availability will take within 24 to 72 business hours.
