Kinesis takes the security of all its customers very seriously. As such we have decided to enforce a mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA) requirement on all personal and corporate accounts. <\/p>\n

We expect to make this release as of 03:00 GMT Monday, 18th November.
\nFrom the time of this release, please be aware you will not have exchange functionality until you have enabled 2FA.<\/p>\n

What is two-factor authentication (2FA) and why do I need it?<\/h2>\n

Two-factor authentication (2FA), which is also sometimes referred to as two-step verification, is a security process in which the user provides two different authentication factors to verify themselves. This is done to better protect the user\u2019s credentials.<\/p>\n

Two-factor authentication provides a higher level of assurance than authentication methods that depend on single-factor authentication, in which the user provides only one factor (such as via a password).<\/p>\n

Two-factor authentication methods require users to provide a password as well as a second factor, this is usually a security token or in some cases a biometric factor (such as your fingerprint).<\/p>\n

How do I enable two-factor authentication?<\/h2>\n

Prior to enabling two-factor authentication, you will need an \u2018authenticator\u2019. There are many supported 3rd party apps such as Google Authenticator<\/a>, or Microsoft Authenticator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those who do not utilise a smartphone, you may consider an authenticator such as Authy<\/a> for Google Chrome.<\/p>\n

Once you have downloaded and set up your preferred authenticator, you\u2019re ready to begin enabling two-factor authentication on your Kinesis Money account.<\/p>\n

To enable 2FA, please use the following steps:<\/p>\n

1. Firstly, you need to Log in<\/a> to your account
\n2. Navigate to the left bar
\n3. Above \u2018Accounts\u2019 you will find a drop-down bar that states your email address \u2013 expand this.
\n4. Select the second option \u2018Security\u2019.
\n5. You\u2019ll see the option to change your password, below this you\u2019ll see a \u2018Two-factor authentication\u2019 section.
\n6. Click \u201cEnable two-factor authentication\u201d and follow the on-screen prompts.<\/p>\n
