Two-factor authentication uses two ways to verify your identity whenever you sign in to your FXOpen account:

• Your password
• An extra security code

It is to secure your account from violators by using both your password and your smartphone.

Two-factor authentication helps protect your account by making it more difficult for a hacker to sign in, even if they’ve somehow learned your password.

If you turn on two-factor authentication, you’ll see an extra page every time you sign in My FXOpen.

The extra page prompts you to enter a security code to sign in. FXOpen can send a new security code to your phone, or you can obtain one through the authenticator application on your smartphone.

Setting up “Two-factor authentication”

First, choose how you like to receive your security codes.

1. Use text messages (Security codes will be sent to your mobile phone.)
2. Use a mobile app (Security codes will be generated by an authenticator app)

Then, choose the OS of your device to get the app.

Now follow the 3 steps below and the “Two-factor authentication” will be setup.

1. Tap + in Google Authenticator.
2. Tap on Scan Barcode.
3. Use your phone camera to scan the bar-code in the page.
