What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional security layer for your account. It requires not only a user's email address and password but also something uniquely accessible to the user, such as a digital token that changes every 30 seconds.
Why should I enable 2FA on my account?
Enabling 2FA helps protect your account from unauthorised access by requiring two forms of verification. It significantly reduces the risk of fraud, data loss, or identity theft. It is also a requirement for withdrawing bitcoin from your Bitaroo account.
How do I enable 2FA on my Bitaroo account?
To enable 2FA on your account, follow these steps:
- Log in to your account.
- Navigate to 'Account' --> 'Security'
- Select 'Enable Enhanced Security (2FA)'.
- Choose your preferred 2FA method:
- App (we suggest Authy or OTP Auth), or
- Email (simpler but less secure).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
