How do I enable two-factor authentication (2FA)?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of security to your Winbance account. Besides your password, you confirm important actions with a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds in an app on your phone.

What you need

An authenticator app on your phone, for example:

• Google Authenticator
• Microsoft Authenticator
• Authy
• 1Password or another password manager with 2FA support

How to enable it

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Security.
2. Click Enable two-factor authentication.
3. Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code shown on the screen. If you can't scan it, enter the setup key manually.
4. Enter the 6-digit code shown in your app to confirm.
5. 2FA is now active. You will see it marked as Enabled in Security.
6. Save your 8 recovery codes. Each one can be used once if you lose access to your phone.

Keep access to your codes

• Save your setup key in a safe place when you activate 2FA. It lets you restore 2FA on a new phone.
• If you change your phone, move your authenticator app to the new device before resetting the old one.
• If you lose access, see I lost access to my 2FA device.

Good to know

• Winbance staff will never ask you for your 2FA codes. Never share them with anyone.
• If a code is not accepted, check that the time on your phone is set automatically. A wrong time generates wrong codes.
