It provides a high level of security and ease of use. Just like many other Google services, the authenticator is totally free to use.
It’s easy to protect your Olymp Trade account using Google Authenticator. To do it, just install the app and activate the two-factor authentication through your personal account on the platform. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use this service.
Log in to your account on the platform. Go to your profile and click on the Settings button.
In Settings, go to the two-factor authentication menu and choose the Google Authenticator method.
Open the Google Authenticator app on your phone and click on the plus sign at the bottom right. There are two ways to add a new account: either by entering a 16-digit code or by scanning a QR code.
The application will generate a special code for you to enter on the platform. To complete the connection process, type it in and click Confirm.
If all goes well, you will see a “Success” message.
You will be requested to enter the code generated by Google Authenticator every time you sign in to your account using your password.
In order to log in, simply open Google Authenticator and copy the six-digit combination of numbers listed for Olymp Trade.
Enter it and enjoy secure trading! 🔐
