CoinTracker offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. This extra step requires a second verification, in addition to your sign-in credentials.
We support authenticator apps, which are time-based one-time (TOTP) apps, like Google Authenticator or 1Password. Any app compatible with the TOTP protocol should work. These apps generate temporary, time-sensitive code to grant access to your account.
Two-factor authentication setup
- Download your preferred authenticator app from the app store on your mobile phone.
- Sign in to CoinTracker, and navigate to the Settings page.
- From the Account tab, toggle On the two-factor authentication setting.
- Click Enable to continue the setup.
- Using your authenticator app: Scan the QR code, enter the one-time code from your app, and click Continue.
- Click Copy code to copy your recovery code to your clipboard and store it somewhere safe.
- Click the checkbox and click Continue to complete your authenticator setup.
Next time you sign into CoinTracker, you will be asked to verify your identity by entering the code from your authenticator app.
Your recovery code
Your recovery code will allow you to access your account in the event that you lose access to your device with the authenticator app. We highly recommend storing your recovery code in a secure and accessible place.
