How do I set up my Two-factor Authentication (2FA) using Google Authenticator (GA)?
Google Authenticator (GA) is a dynamic password tool that Google built to provide its users with a stronger security layer for their account. After you have successfully linked your FinanceX account to the GA app, GA will generate a One-Time Password (OTP) every 30 seconds. This verification code can be used to login, withdrawal, and changing security settings to achieve maximum security for your FinanceX account.
To link your FinanceX account to your GA app, kindly refer to the steps as shown below:
Step 1: Log into your FinanceX account
Step 2: Under your “Account”
Click on “Profile” in the drop down menu as below or click this link https://financex.trade/profile to get started
Step 3: Download Google Authenticator (GA) onto phone by clicking on the respective download button links below (iOS Users: Apple App Store /Android Users: Google Play):
Step 4: Open the GA app on your mobile device, click the “+” icon and choose “Scan a barcode” or “Enter a provided key” to manually input the key words.
Step 5: Input the new 6-digit GA Code generated into the text field (GA code changes every 30 seconds)
Step 6: Click the “Link” button to complete the verification.
Step 7: Congratulations! Two-Factor Authentication is now successfully enabled on your account.
Step 8: After you have successfully set up GA, a GA code (the 6-digit code) will be required for each login or security action. The code changes every 30 seconds. Please remember to only enter the newest code.
