What is two-factor authentication (2FA) and how is it used in NC Wallet?
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of NC Wallet security. For safety reasons, 2FA confirmation is mandatory for
- Withdrawals;
- Managing the Allowed and Blocked IP List.
Apart from this, you can enable 2FA for
- Logins in your wallet;
- Confirming exchanges;
- Setting limits for withdrawal and exchange.
2FA Authenticators:
You can use different types of 2FA authenticators depending on your device and preferences:
- Google Authenticator;
- Apple Key Manager;
- Other two-factor authentication applications installed on your device (for example, Microsoft Authenticator, Samsung Authenticator);
- Telegram messenger.
Also, it’s possible to enable 2FA using different authenticators and use them in parallel.
Important notes on 2FA:
- You need to activate two-factor authentication during your first withdrawal if you have not already done so;
- For security reasons, we don't recommend synchronising your Google Authenticator with the Google account that you use to log into your NC Wallet;
- You can also switch to biometrics to sign in and confirm transactions, but you need to enable 2FA first;
- We highly recommend that you back up your 2FA security key. If you lose, change, or reset your current device/phone, you can use this security key to re-enable 2FA on another device; or import it to use with another authenticator on this device.
