Enabling two-factor authentication for your wallet account

Updated over a year ago

When you keep access to your non-custodial wallet secure with two-factor authentication enabled on your account, you won't have to worry about bad actors gaining access to your account.

To enable two-factor authentication for your wallet account, visit this page https://app.forebit.io/wallet/settings/security, then follow the steps outlined below:

  • Download the Google Authenticator app on your Android or iOS device

  • Sign in to your preferred account using your account email and password

  • Visit the security tab under your account settings within the wallet platform

  • Scroll down to the two factor section and tap on the enable 2fa button to continue with the setup

  • Open the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device and select the plus icon to enable the camera to scan the QR code

  • Scan the QR code then type in the 6-digit code you see within the Google Authenticator app on the modal

Before you confirm and close the modal, we recommend downloading the two factor recovery code. If you lose access to your two factor authenticator, Forebit cannot, under any circumstance, assist you with recovering your account.
