Two-Factor Authentication
8/3/2024, 2:14:57 PM

Two-factor authentication (2FA) significantly boosts the security of your Igitems account by requiring two forms of verification: your password (something you know) and a code from your device (something you have).

Why Use 2FA?

2FA is implemented to prevent unauthorized access, protecting sensitive information and securing transactions involving your profile and funds.

Recommended Authentication Method

We strongly recommend using the Google Authenticator app. Unlike SMS, this app generates a time-sensitive code and is more secure against cyber threats like SIM swapping.

Setting Up 2FA

  1. Download Google Authenticator on your mobile device.

  2. Visit your account settings on Igitems.

  3. Select 'Enable Two-Factor Authentication.'

  4. Scan the QR code provided to link your Igitems account with the app.

  5. Log in with both your password and the code from the Google Authenticator app each time.

This setup ensures enhanced security for your Igitems account.
