- Activate the option on the question: "
Enable two-factor authentication?" So that a tick appears.
- Open a 2FA application on your smartphone or PC (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or other similar applications),
Add a code/Add Account by scanning the QR Code or manually inputting the Shared secret code in the Bitcointalk account profile (the account name will appear according to the user ID,
BTCT:u***).
- Fill in the
Confirmation OTP with a random code obtained from the previous 2FA application.
- To save changes to account profile settings, fill in the
Current Password, then click the
Change profile button.
- When 2FA has been activated, the settings in the Profile change as below:
Notes:- Keep the Shared secret (Base32) and QR Code in a safe place and do not share it with others.
- Shared secret and QR Code will be reset when you disable the previously created 2FA and reactivate the new 2FA.
