How to enable 2FA on a crypto exchange.

[Dimi_00 133]

2FA means two-factor authentication. It is used in addition to a password to protect a user account from thieves.

 

It is important to enable 2FA in any exchange you use including yobit.net, so that someone who steals your password will not be able to login to your account and steal your coins.

 

To do this, 

First download an authenticator app e.g Google authenticator, Last Pass, Authy or any other authenticator app you wish on playstore or apple store.

For desktop, you can download winauth for Windows.

Or you can do a Google search for an authenticator you like.

 

Next, login to the exchange. From the drop-down menu:

 

1. Go to settings

2. Look for "Enable 2FA" and click.

3. You will be given a code

4. Make sure to write out the code in paper and KEEP in a safe place.

5. Next, open your authenticator and carefully type in your code, then save it.

6. Once saved, the authenticator will give you a 6-digit code.

7. Copy that code and paste into your exchange, then click "Enable".

8. The exchange will enable 2FA on your account. Henceforth, anytime you wish to login, the exchange will ask for a 6-digit code. Open your authenticator to get the code.

9. This code will serve as a "second password" to login to your account.

 

 

 

 

Note: in some exchanges, it will be: "Settings" — "Account Security" — "Enable 2FA".

In that order.

It is very important to enable two factor authentication on your accounts. This reduces the likely hood of your account being hacked and your funds being lost. It may seem like it is being overprotective, but believe me, i ave lost bitcoin in the past because of a hack, and now i always enable 2fa on all my accounts to be safe. Better safe than sorry right.

Nice tutorial for the security of the account also put your bitcoin address and ethereum address for incase you lose your account that makes more secure , always keep 2 step verification , it makes kind of impossible to get cheated or hack your account

Thanks dear friend, because new member in this forum did not know how to add 2fa security and I also did not how to add 2fa security. I read your post yes it's important to add 2fa security, if we add 2fa security our account will be safe.

[elizabethdlock 213]

Hey mate, thanks for your informative post because I am new in this forum and I am also new in crypto world before that I did not know about 2fa security, so I will use this method to protect my account. 

[miskyming 1588]

2FA is really important this can add your security so no one can hack your account. I prefer to use mobile phone 2fa because no need to open internet in your phone.

[Rida12 74]

Two factor authentication, and also refferd as two step verification or Dual factor authentication. This is a security process in which users verify themselves by providing different authentication factors. But i think its too lengthy process and i am not going to use this

[drmsohail 151]

Thanks for sharing this useful information because 2FA is necessary for every account.

Most of my accounts is 2FA protected.

But I started work on  Crypto world before 2 days and now I just start earning from cryptotalk. 

Now I am thinking to enable 2FA on my cryptotalk account also.

Yes, True, as you all might know that Crypto are on the top list of the hickers. So, It is much better to have a tighten security on all our wallets for crypto. But keep your 2FA information safe, as most of the time we lost it. 

[Aqib Alizai 100]

Thanks my friend for your post. This post will halped me to increase the securety of my account and all my hard work on my this account. And this posts will help many other members who need their account save.

[Well Played 77]

Thanks for you topic but i don't activate the 2fa Authenticator because it's annoying to me.  That's why i only use this and until now i don't get any problems here.

[Nezar 7169]

For me, I do not like this type of authentication. I rely on only the codes that are sent to me via email or personal number.

[Ahmedabdallah12 169]

The 2 fa is so important to save your money , but remember to use trusted app the most trusted is google authorization and remember to save the code so if you lost your phone you can login the exchanges

[Xsimple 441]

Thank you for this one it is really good to have 2fa in your account because it feel more secure in that way and other also can learn about how this really work because of this post.

I do not heard about it. Its a new thing on cryptotalk for me. So i cant tell you anything about this bro. But i hope this may be a good feature of cryptotalk.

You really need to know this.  It's very important. Your account needs to have a 2fa code so that it'll be secure . I suggest that you should apple this to your account right now. Internet is a dangerous place.

[Vivek1997 437]

Thanks brother for posting such useful information about enabling 2fa but actually i did it already and I'm known about this already. But this will help many other users that are known about this yet. Even many users skipped this step because of lack of information about this. Thank you once again for posting this information.

I don't know how to enable two-fa authorities but your post is useful for me I try to enable this setting in my yobit account thank you for sharing a useful information 

[Migo 7946]

This feature is good and needed in every earning site or exchanging markets, it will give you more safety to your account, most of the site will put it in the settings, so if anyone wanted to activate it, he needs to go to profike settings and activate it with his phone, this is the good way
