Securing your account

We recommend setting up two-factor authentication (2FA) during the registration process on our platform to give your account an extra layer of protection. With 2FA activated, you'll log in using your username and password. In addition, we'll send a PIN code to your authenticated device. We'll never ask you to give us any log-in info.
