🔐 How to Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

To enable  2fa on your account, you will need a mobile device and the phone number associated with your LATOKEN account in hand in order to successfully complete the 2-step verification.

 

What is 2-step verification?

LATOKEN offers 2-step verification, known also as 2-factor (2FA) or multi-factor authentication, as an added security layer in addition to your username and password.

 

With 2-step verification enabled on your account, you'll need to provide a unique verification code sent to your phone in addition to your username and password.

 

Some events that can trigger 2-step verification

• Sign-In attempt from an unrecognized device
• Sign-in attempt from an unrecognized phone number
• Sending crypto out of your LATOKEN account

There are two ways to enable the 2FA, which is either through Google authenticator or SMS means.

1. Google Authenticator (GOTP)

These are apps that generate a one-time code based on these factors:

1) The current date and time on your phone

2) A secret key known only to you and LATOKEN.

 

How to Set Up:

1. Log into your LATOKEN account
2. Go to your Profile > Security tab

 

 

 

    3. Choose Your 2FA Method

 

 

4. Enable Google Auth

1. Install Google Auth app
2. Enter your account email in Google Auth app
3. Enter the code in Google Auth app
4. Enter the 6-digit code from Google Auth

5. Press “Enable Authenticator” button

 

Congratulations, your 2-factor authentication (2FA) has been enabled 🎉
