Learn how to activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on IQX to add an extra layer of security to your account.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) protects your account by requiring a verification code in addition to your password. Even if someone knows your password, they cannot access your account without this second step.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Log in to your IQX account and open your Profile.
- Go to Security Settings.
- Select Enable 2FA.
- Choose your preferred 2FA method:
- Authenticator App (Recommended): Google Authenticator or Authy.
- SMS or Email: Receive verification codes on your registered phone or email.
- Scan the QR code or manually enter the secret key in your authenticator app.
- Enter the 6-digit verification code to complete the setup.
Important Notes
- Save your backup codes in a secure place — needed if you lose access to your phone.
- You can update or disable 2FA anytime from Security Settings.
- Never share your 2FA codes with anyone, including people claiming to be IQX support.
Tip: Enabling 2FA is the simplest and most effective way to protect your account.
