Two-factor authentication - also known as '2FA' - is a way to increase the security of your account by adding a second layer to the login process. Once you've installed it, you will be asked to enter a security code right after you've entered your username and password. This code is requested any time you try to log in from the web-browser and it is requested once when you add a new account to our app.
Why does it matter?
đ Your investments will be a lot more secure
đIt reduces the risk of data theft
đ©âđ» Less chance of being hacked even if your passwords are compromised.
