🔐 What is 2FA?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra step to your login process. Even if someone has your password, they can’t get in without your one-time 2FA code.


🪜 How to Enable 2FA on 1Bitcoin.ca

  1. Log in to your account

  2. Go to Settings

  3. Click “Enable 2FA”

  4. Scan the QR code using an authenticator app like:

    • Google Authenticator

    • Authy

    • 1Password (if using it for logins)

  5. Enter the 6-digit code from your app

  6. Done! You’ll now be asked for this code whenever you log in


✅ Why It’s Important

  • Protects your account from unauthorized access

  • Prevents login even if your password is stolen

  • Takes less than 60 seconds to set up


📌 Tip:
Save your 2FA backup key somewhere safe (ideally offline). You’ll need it if you ever lose access to your phone.
