Setting up Two-Factor Authentication

Two factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your profile by requiring a one-use code each time you login. So if your login and password fell into the wrong hands, having this enabled would prevent an unauthorized user from accessing your account. 

We offer two methods for two-factor authentication. You can set it up using an app, or set it up with your email.

Two-Factor Authentication via App: To set up your two-factor authentication via a third-party app, go into Account Settings > Account Security. From here, you can set up your two-factor authentication via a separate app. We recommend apps such as Authy, 1Password, or LastPass Authenticator. These applications support secure backup of your authentication codes in the cloud and can be restored if you lose access to your device.

Two-Factor Authentication via Email: To set up your two-factor authentication via email, go into Account Settings > Account Security. From here, you can input an email. Ledger will send you an email with a two-factor authentication code each time you login. Input the code from the email and you'll be back in business.
