Authentication method. Select the method you want to use. We have 2 options:

• Google Authenticator
• Yubikey

When using Google Authenticator, please read the?following information. For YubiKey, the authorization method used is One Time Password (OTP).

Security codes. Make sure to write down the security codes somewhere that will be created next to the 2FA setup. If you lose your device, you will always get your authentication method working again without a hassle. If you haven't written down the backup codes, then you will have to send an email to all exchanges and Cryptohopper with the question to remove the 2FA from your account. So do write the codes down. Cryptohopper can be contacted through chat or by mail:?support@cryptohopper.com

Extra information#

We highly recommend using 2FA on your Cryptohopper account. Not only on your Cryptohopper account but on all your accounts. It’s an extra layer of security on your account.
