Using Google Authenticator for 2FA to secure your account
What is Google Authenticator, and why is it used for 2FA?
Google Authenticator is an app that generates time-based, one-time passwords (TOTPs) to add an extra layer of security to your account. It helps protect your account from being hacked, ensuring no one can access your rewards, steal your digital items, or interfere with your game progress.
How do I set up Google Authenticator on my account?
This option can be found in your settings. To access, click on your Avatar > Settings. Then, scan the QR code with the Google Authenticator app and enter the generated code to activate 2FA.
Take down your secret key and store it safely (not on your computer) to recover access if needed.

How do I use Google Authenticator to log in?
Enter the code generated by the app when prompted during login. This code changes every 30 seconds, making it highly secure.
How do I deactivate Google Authenticator on my account?
To deactivate 2FA, go to your security settings. Enter the verification code from your Google Authenticator app and click "Deactivate." This will remove 2FA from your account. However, it is recommended to keep 2FA enabled to maintain your account's security.
What should I do if I lose access to Google Authenticator?
Use the backup codes provided during setup or the secret key you saved to recover access. If you don’t have these, contact support for assistance.
Can I switch to a new device for Google Authenticator?
Yes, disable 2FA on your current account and re-enable it on your new device using the secret key or by setting it up again with a new QR code. Always save your secret key for smooth transitions.
What if my Google Authenticator code doesn’t work?
Ensure your device's time is synced correctly to avoid errors with the code. If the problem persists, try re-enabling 2FA or contacting support.
Can I disable 2FA if I no longer want to use Google Authenticator?
Yes, you can disable 2FA, but it is not recommended. 2FA adds an extra layer of security to protect your account from unauthorized access and keeps your digital assets safe.
