Title: 2 Factors Authentication (2FA) - using it for two exchanges on one mobile phone?
Post by: Janinho on May 03, 2017, 05:06:18 PM
Hi,

my first post here although I have been a long term lurker.

Noob question:

I have google 2FA enabled on my android mobile phone for Poloniex. I want to enable google 2FA on the same phone for Bittrex. Is it possible? How should I go about it? I don't seem to be able to find the relevant answer just by searching on the web.
Alternatively, what other options would you recommend for enabling 2FA on the same phone?

Thanks for your help!

J

You can activate 2FA as money times as you want for different exchanges, yes. You simply scan the QR code for bittrex just like you first did with Poloniex and you are good to go, It should be added on the Google authenticator app under the Poloniex code.

I may suggest use authy (https://authy.com/download/) for 2fa since you can back it up using your mobile number (wherever your phone will be lost) and through email and even with a master password for recovery.
