2-Factor Authentication (2FA) secures your account using unique, one-time generated codes.
To add this to your account, an app such as Google Authenticator or Authy is required. To do this, you will need to open the app and click 'Add New Account', which will allow you to scan a barcode or a provided key.
You can set up 2-Factor Authentication for your Coinmetro account using one of the following apps:
Authy | Google Authenticator | andOTP |
Not available for iOS. |
How to Activate 2-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Please make sure to save the barcode and the provided key, as these are necessary for recovery.
To move your 2FA from one device to another
From the 2-Factor Authentication section, disable each of the actions that are enabled for 2FA. This will require entering a 2FA-generated code from your old device.
If you have lost your old device, you need to scan your previously generated barcode or input the generated key (the backup) on your new device. This will allow you to access your account from the new device.
Once each action is disabled, press 'Setup New 2FA' and simply follow the instructions on your new device to enable 2FA.
