What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security for your Selfwealth account designed to ensure that you're the only person with access. It requires a code from an authenticator app, on top of your standard login details, for you to be able to access your account.

Login on your desktop.
Click the avatar dropdown and select the cog' at the top right of your screen.
Navigate to the Personal Details' tab across the top of the page.
Next to your password, click Enable 2FA'.
Save your Recovery Codes in a safe place.
Then follow the prompts. You will need to have your authenticator app ready.
Once activated, you will be required to use the 2FA code to access your account along with your standard login details. You will also need to re-enter your login details into your Selfwealth app after activating 2FA.
Why does Selfwealth use an app instead of SMS?
SMS is not a safe way of authenticating the account holder and app authentication is seen as a more secure method.
