Added Account Security: Two-Factor Authentication Now Available

Crypto-ML has added the option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account. This added security is available in anticipation of the upcoming Auto-Trade functionality. Should you intend on entering trade account information, enabling 2FA will greatly increase the security of those account details.

Once enabled, the Crypto-ML login screen will ask for your username and password, then it will ask for a one-time password from your phone’s 2FA app.

How to enable Crypto-ML 2FA

From the Member Dashboard, you can click Account and then 2FA. From the 2FA page, you can enable, disable, and modify your two-factor security settings.

You can enable or disable at any time. Turning on 2FA is optional.

Which 2FA apps are supported?

Crypto-ML utilizes the one-time password protocol TOTP. This means many popular 2FA apps are supported, namely:

• Google Authenticator
• Authy
• And many other apps that support TOTP

If you do not yet have a favorite 2FA app, Google Authenticator is a simple solution available for both iOS (iTunes) and Android (Google Play). It supports QR scanning which makes the entire process easy.
