# Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

## As an added layer of protection, the CoinLion Trading Platform requires two-factor authentication (2FA) to access your account. 

As an added layer of protection, the CoinLion Trading Platform requires two factor authentication (2FA) to access your account. When first setting up your account you will be prompted to establish your 2FA.

**Step 2:** On your smartphone, download an authenticator app (Auth0 Guardian, Google Authenticator, or similar app) from the app store. The Auth0 Guardian app provides push notifications sent directly to your phone, simplifying the 2FA process.
