Two Factor Authentication Question

[KNine63]

When I first set up Electrum, I did not use two factor authentication.  I would like to add that now, but understand I cannot do so with my existing installation.  If I reinstall Electrum using my seed words, will I have an option to add two factor authentication?  Thanks.

No, you'd have to make a new wallet and transfer ryour old funds there (ensuring you keep the seed words safe).

You'll have to pay 0.0025 i think at the start for your first 100 transactions. So it's 0.000025BTC per transaction. More info see hosseins post.

Here is some additional information about Two-Factor Authentication on Electrum that you might need to know;

I hope you are already aware of the fee you have to pay.

You'll have to pay 0.01 i think at the start for your first 100 transactions. So it's 0.0001BTC per transaction

The fee Trustedcoin charge for signing transactions is 0.00005 BTC per transaction if you pay for 20 transactions at once and 0.000025 per transaction if you pay for 100 transactions at once.

you can use your existing installation. you just need to create a new wallet file via file > new/restore.

oh and you will need to generate a new set of seed words. select 2fa as the wallet type and let electrum make a new seed for you. your current seed can't be used to create a 2fa wallet.
