When is two-factor authentication required?

Understand when FXTRADING.com requests two-factor authentication and which verification methods may be available.

FXTRADING.com may request two-factor authentication (2FA) or another security verification before allowing a sensitive account action. The method shown depends on the security options linked to your profile and the action being performed.

Actions that may require security verification

  • signing in from a new location or device;

  • adding or changing payment or payout information;

  • changing a mobile number or email address;

  • changing or resetting a Client Portal password;

  • requesting a withdrawal or eligible transfer;

  • changing the security method; and

  • linking an authentication app.

Deposits, withdrawals and transfers can also depend on profile verification, account eligibility and transaction-specific checks. Complete the verification or security task displayed in the Client Portal.

Available verification methods

Depending on your profile, the Client Portal may offer a code sent to a verified email address or mobile number, a supported authentication app, a push approval or another identity-verification step.

Authentication-app codes are generated on the registered device and can work without mobile-message delivery. Keep recovery information and registered contact details current.

If you do not receive a code

  • confirm that you selected the intended verification method;

  • check the registered email inbox and spam folder or the mobile network signal;

  • wait for the resend period shown before requesting another code;

  • check that the authentication app time is synchronised; and

  • use the recovery option displayed if the registered method is unavailable.

Never disclose a password, authentication-app code or one-time verification code.
