Please stay safe and maintain control over your accounts
Topic: How to use 2fa (Read 303 times)
2FA is a pretty secure way to control access to any password protected sites, even if somebody else has the identifier for the same site they will generate a different number than you each time. Many exchanges are using this as a rule for access now.
Yes 2fa is very good and it helps a lot as well
But we need and have to ensure to protect all accounts
Make good use of metamask
Make good use of ImToken and Myetherwallet
And observe you are always on the proper website
These are pretty useful tips. Among all the security features, I personally like 2FA a lot since it has helped me on multiple occasions when hackers tried hacking my funds etc which is why I like this feature the most when compared to other features like Metamask etc. But we need and have to ensure to protect all accounts
Make good use of metamask
Make good use of ImToken and Myetherwallet
And observe you are always on the proper website
I always advise enabling 2FA when it comes to securing your funds anywhere in this vast crypto space since hackers are lurking everywhere and it is always a good idea to secure your funds in every way possible.
This 2FA application from Google is beneficial for the security of my wallet on Myetherwallet, easy to use especially free
After numerous hacking claims regarding exchange sites and Myetherwallet
I thought to advice everyone to simply put to use ImToken app to control their Myetherwallet account
Then activate 2fa for every exchange site; all you have to do is
Download the google Authenticator app
Go to security and Authenticator settings
The site will generate a key for you ( FHFE3529KL8 ) ; copy the key, go to your auth app, click on the + sign, select add key. Type the name of the site, scroll to the next line and paste the key generated. THEN SAVE
You'll be seeing 6 digits codes every 5min or so. Use the code to login to the site.
using 2fa is really good, this information really gives a user a better protection to their wallet.

Glad to know that there is a way to activate 2 way authentication for MEW. I hate it when someone got hacked and I don't want it to happen to me. Those hackers should be in jail and paid for what they have done to others. It's very hard to earn money on crypto and they just stole from us. They will get what they deserve someday.
I've activated 2fa on my account, it truly able to keep all my assets safe.
Since without it we can't access the account that we had, so it will be totally safe.

It's not every five minutes, it's every 30 seconds. So the two-factor authentication app will generate a random password (6 digit code) in every 30 seconds to keep the process more secure.
You must save the original 2fa backup key so that you can restore/get access in case you lose your device or accidentally delete the app.
I’m so pleased to get this post
It has helped me immensely to get my accounts secure
I’m new and just lesrning, but what’s merit on your profile and what’s it used for ?
Do enlighten me

2fa means two factor authentication this means a lot in an account. Two factor authentication is very useful because it makes you feel comfortable on your account because some people can hacked your account but by this two factor authentication code you are able to have free of mind on your account
you do not need to use this purse, you can, for example, a trezor. Protects better than any 2AF, except you can not manage a wallet. It is not very expensive, but safety. There are still other options - a purse on your device, without access to the network. I do not know which is better, I would recommend still using a cool wallet - trezor.
thank you for your advice.

Yeah, i think imToken can be a way to minimize the hacking in the future because myetherwallet doesnt have 2fa in default.
2fa is used to confirm every transaction you make. It will be safe unless someone know your private key or phished you.
2fa is a very important security measure for our exchange platforms
I use it for my binance and huobi accounts
It’s a fantastic move and I also protect my phone well from supposed friends who would only steal your phone by phishing it

I think it will be better to condict own research about this because learning new things can enhance your skills and motives you to pursue harder here in your journey in cryptocurrency.
Yeah sure 2fa is easily and safe way to go, as a matter of fact, most exchanges will not allow you to do anything without setting up your 2fa and it's good so that the crypto space will be more secured and free from hackers.
And if you have malware on your pc
You need to first of all clear wipe erase and re format your pc or simply restore factory settings for good functioning and then you can enjoy your 2fa setup
Be careful what 2fa app you download

Thanks for your insight into this
Have got hacked about 3 or 4 times ; but I did this tonight upon reading your post
And the activation was smooth and easy

I think you get hacked too often. Perhaps once or twice you have entered data on phishing sites or simply have been not careful with your personal data, but 3 to 4 times, it raises suspicions that you have malware on your PC.Have got hacked about 3 or 4 times ; but I did this tonight upon reading your post

thank you for your post, I didn't know you could use 2FA on MyEtherWallet. If you can install 2fa, I always do it to protect the wallet, or the entrance to the exchange or personal account.
2fa added more security to our accounts but always remember to always create a back up of security generated key because incase your device damage, lost or stolen you can access again your 2fa in other new device.
Not only security it makes to healthy knowingly that your wallet will never be hacked even if your phone is stolen or lost
Be relaxed when fixing 2fa and ensure to store your secret keys in a disclosed place
Good luck
I think interms of this it is better to used internet to provide a more assistance which can ehlp you to put you in the right tract and understand all things regarding to this topic.

Yes thats very good and straightforward, storing every information is vital and it ensures proper growth and development
So do ensure to always play safe
Thanks for your views
2fa added more security to our accounts but always remember to always create a back up of security generated key because incase your device damage, lost or stolen you can access again your 2fa in other new device.
Use and activated 2fa for all account exchanges, email and others account is very important to avoid hack. And when use it remember to keep in safe the 16 digit code, so when our android loss and damage, will be easy to recover it. The code of 2 fa is automactly changed in every 30 second make more difficult for hacker to get in to our account. I hope this 2 fa will be added for Myetherwallet and other personal wallet.
2FA is a safe way to make our wallet account safe, because to access the wallet we need 2FA that tersembung to smartphone we have to receive password while the number of password always change change every 60 second. Each exchange will have 2FA different, such as through sms, google aunthenticator, and gmail depending on the exchange you use.
I believe that 2FA is the best security development ever. It is a very simple system but as well is too effective and very easy to use. This system is really make feel the user in safe like an unbreakable system but it's not unbreakable. A hacker can change the device which connected to 2FA. In conclusion, do not leave your safety by relying on 2FA. Two-factor authentication cannot protect you from everything. No system is safe.
Ask this question in google there is a video instruction and it will be clear and understandable. Is it really that hard?
Securing the current 2-step authentication is important because there are many cases where hackers attack e-wallets and steal the full amount of cryptos. So you can use Google Authenticator or Authy to install 2fa for any of your e-wallets to be safe, avoiding the loss of cryptos.
The reason i have adopted the idea of using 2FA is that, if you lost the device you used in creating it, you can restore it through your password. This is essential because of the incessant hacking of accounts on exchanges. Not exchanges alone, but also anything the needs security and enables the use of 2FA.
Thanks for insightful information I think this would help many of newbies as well as some of their school for guys around the main point for me is not to be lazy and always turn on 2fa, because this is our security.
This is true! But be very careful with 2fa. Be sure to save the backup code or have the same 2fa on the other device.
Once I lost the phone on which I was 2fa and as a result I lost all the money on my wallet.
It is impossible to restore 2fa!

I advise you to do as I do - save passwords from 2fa and make screenshots of QR code on Google disk. But before that, do not forget to install the 2fa code on your Google account! 
2fa is exceptional to operation when you are contriving assembly count or level additional count down cyberspace to avert criminal that buildup to your concealed effect or concealed account.
Two factor authentication is more for exchanges and yes, you should always activate them. I don't think it's available for wallets but I could be wrong. Bookmark Myetherwallet to be safe and there's a plugin called MetaCert which also helps with blocking phishing sites.
Thank you for the explanation regarding on how to use the 2 factor authenticator. Surely it will be a great help in order to secure an account to not be able to be hack or scam. It is a security that is needed to activate for the account to be safe.
2FA is really useful in exchange site because even though they know your password or anything about your account / wallet they cant withdraw anything unless they can input the correct OTP pass of 2FA this is why it is a MUST in every exchange site you use.
Absolutely this 2FA thing is a very helpful tool in protecting our wallet from hackers but as i have observed it is only used in centralized exchange. Why is it that they don't apply this on decentralized exchange? It would be a big boost to the security of our wallet if they apply this one.
I also think touch id is very good
but still google authentication is the best around and it ensures better 2fa security as well.
Hope we all prevent hacks and scam.

Good to see that you share what you know and make this forum knowledgeable with 2FA. As per my knowledge 2FA is a very good security measure to make our accounts more safe and secured, the most secured feature as of now I can say and this has to be set to almost all your crypto related wallets and there are few other sites also has this feature and you can have this if you want your date to be secured.

sorry maybe i'm a bit late with this, but to be honest i just heard imtoken and can you explain it and how does it work? can it be likened to metamask?
I am looking for a safe way to protect my wallet because at this time a lot of my friends who have lost their tokens.
I appreciate the safety and privacy. Imtoken is the wallet on the phone. There are versions for iOS and Android.I am looking for a safe way to protect my wallet because at this time a lot of my friends who have lost their tokens.
In my opinion, you will not be bothered using it. You do not have to spend time importing UTC or using a prative key.
Also you can install TouchID for wallet.
I believe that two-factor authentication really helps to keep your savings safe, but you should understand that the exchange can be hacked and therefore it is also not the best way to protect your funds.
Nice pal . by the way guys this method is useful and it's really a big help especially to those who always suffering such hacking issues. Because indeed since i set up my 2 factors authentication or (2fa) my eth wallet become secured and there's no one can obtain my private information or can hack even though i always browse in any suspicious link around internet It's very secured promise ,if i were you guys set it up right now to have secured wallet.

Another important note while using 2FA is that you have to save the backup code of 2FA can log the logs or store them in 1 usb. In case of losing your phone or changing your phone. We will easily reinstall 2FA. Without backup code would be a big mess I thought to advice everyone to simply put to use ImToken app to control their Myetherwallet account

Yes it can linked
imtoken is an erc-20 tokens that allows you to add up over 2 eth wallet on a single app and you can control all operations on the app too ( which means you don't need to visit myetherwallet or metamask always )
download the imtoken app, import your details and set notifications on.
Thats all.
Thanks for helping out a brother
That’s the basis of the forum
Sharing of Knowledge and acquiring knowledge
2FA is an imperative for security in the pre-encrypted market. When the legal and security systems are weak, perhaps 2FA will be a safe bet for investors' capital. But most importantly, human beings, if carelessness and human subjectivity lead to the opportunity for hackers to steal money and personal information.

I have been reading that 2fa can be hacked and has issue. Much better than not having it. I would utilize all available options for security that your exchange offers. The only thing I would not do it a KYC check and send my documents and identity to have hacked later down the road.
I do not agree with 2fa been hacked
except this is done by your close friends.
Another alternative hacking process is when you link to a fake API app.
that can be dangerous.

Two Factor Authentication
Also known as 2FA, two step verification or TFA (as an acronym), is an extra layer of security that is known as "multi factor authentication" that requires not only a password and username but also something that only, and only, that user has on them, i.e. a piece of information only they should know or have immediately to hand - such as a physical token.
Using a username and password together with a piece of information that only the user knows makes it harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal that person's personal data or identity.
2fa is important to use when you are creating exchanges account or even other account through internet to prevent thief that can access to your private property or private account. Using e.mail two factor authentication is one of the simplest way to secure your privacy and identity.

Good definition of the google authentication
Do ensure always to protect your secret key code just in case you lose your phone device
So you do not lose your account as well
Good luck
Yes 2fa is very good and it helps a lot as well
But we need and have to ensure to protect all accounts
Make good use of metamask
Make good use of ImToken and Myetherwallet
And observe you are always on the proper website

It is very vital to use 2fa for all exchanges website and other websites for secure use
But this is a very good outline regardless
Straight forward and steady
The procedures too is clear
I enjoy metamask though
Not everyone knows this, but lastpass also offers 2fa, which is better than google authenticator in my opinion
