Set up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
We strongly encourage you to enable 2FA. We offer two methods to protect your valuable assets and information:
Using an Authenticator App
Using a Passkey
And we support 2FA in the following situations:
Login
Withdrawal
When attempting to change personal information
This ensures that your assets remain secure at all times.
1. Authenticator App
How It Works: You use an app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) to generate a time-based one-time password (TOTP) or a code. This code is used alongside your password to log in.
Features:
Dynamic Codes: Generates a new code every 30 seconds, adding a time-based element to security.
Offline Access: Works without an internet connection once set up.
Convenience: Often integrated into mobile devices, making it easy to access codes.
Secure: Codes are generated locally on your device, reducing the risk of interception.
2. Passkey
How It Works: Passkeys are cryptographic keys stored on your device and used for authentication. They provide a secure way to log in without entering a password.
Features:
Passwordless: Eliminates the need for passwords, reducing the risk of password theft.
Enhanced Security: Uses strong cryptographic methods, making it more resistant to phishing and other attacks.
Convenience: Simplifies the login process by using biometric or device-based authentication (like Face ID or fingerprint recognition).
Device-Specific: Passkeys are typically stored and used on a specific device, adding an extra layer of security.
Each method offers a unique approach to enhancing security, with Authenticator apps relying on time-based codes and Passkeys leveraging cryptographic methods for a more seamless and secure login experience.
For your security, withdrawals are restricted for 12 hours after enabling a new Authenticator app or Passkey.
