Two-factor authentication(2FA) is a method of protecting your account and related data using two different types of validity checks.
It plays a vital role in safeguarding accounts by requiring an additional verification step, going beyond just the password.
When you sign in to an account, you usually enter your login and password. In this case, we can say that your password is one of your authentication factors. If you enable 2FA, you’ll need to provide one more unique code to access your account. This code is usually provided by SMS or with a special application. This additional layer of security is mandatory for withdrawals on CEX.IO to prevent unauthorized access.
2FA gives an extra layer of security to your personal information and funds. You can enable 2FA on your CEX.IO account using the SMS method or the Google Authenticator app.
