Even though we do recommend that you have 2-Factor Authentication enabled in your account, it is possible that on occasion, you may have to temporarily disable it.

How to Disable 2FA from Your Account Settings

If you wish to disable your 2FA or move it to another device, please log in to your Coinmetro account.

On Desktop or Browser

On the Mobile App

  1. Click on your user avatar on the left sidebar menu on your Dashboard.

  2. Click on the Security tab.

  3. Scroll down and find 2-Factor Authentication

  4. Click on the toggles and enter your 6-digit code to turn 2FA off for each option.

  1. From the home screen, tap on your user avatar in the top right of the screen.

  2. Tap on Security.

  3. Scroll down and find 2 Factor Authentication.

  4. Tap the toggles and enter your 6-digit code to turn off 2FA for each option.

Your 2FA app will be unlinked in about 2 minutes after disabling the options. If you change your mind after disabling 2FA for all options, you will have 2 minutes to cancel this by re-enabling any switch again.

If you need to set up 2FA again on a new device, click 'Setup New 2FA' to get started.

What if I can't access my account?

If you are unable to access your Coinmetro account to disable your 2FA, please forward the following details via email to hello@coinmetro.com from your registered email address:

  • Your full name

  • Your registered residential address

  • The phone number you registered in our system

  • A selfie picture of you where we can see that you are holding both a valid ID (preferably the one you used to verify your account) and a pen-written note containing the words โ€œCoinmetro 2FA reset", your email address, and today's date. Please ensure that you are holding both your ID and the note in the selfie.

Please note that we are unable to process requests via live chat. All 2FA reset requests must be sent via email from your registered email address.
