How To Enable Luno Two Factor Authentication

Step 1: Log in to your Luno account

To enable two-factor authentication on Luno, you need to have an existing account. Log in to your account using your email and password. If you don’t have an account, sign up for one.

Step 2: Go to Security Settings

After logging in, go to your account’s Security Settings. You can find this by clicking on your profile icon and selecting Security from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Under Security Settings, click on Two-Factor Authentication. You will be asked to enter your password again. After that, select the type of 2FA you want to enable. Luno offers two options: Google Authenticator and SMS.

Step 4: Set Up Google Authenticator or SMS

If you choose Google Authenticator, you will need to download the app on your phone and scan the QR code provided by Luno. The app will generate a unique code every 30 seconds that you will need to enter when logging in to your Luno account. If you choose SMS, you will receive a verification code via text message every time you log in to your Luno account.

Step 5: Verify Your Two-Factor Authentication

After setting up your preferred 2FA method, Luno will ask you to verify it. Enter the code generated by Google Authenticator or the code sent to your phone via SMS.

Step 6: Save Your Settings

After verifying your 2FA, click on Save to activate it. You will now be required to enter your 2FA code every time you log in to your Luno account.
