Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) can greatly enhance your account security. We recommend using Authy, as it's more secure. To set up 2FA with Twilio Authy, follow the steps below:


Twilio Authy Requirements:


Setting up Authy:

  • Login to your Paxful account on a different device.
  • Hover over your username on the top right of the page and click Settings_Icon_.pngSettings from the menu.

  • Enter the 6-digit code into the field next to the QR code. Your code will be automatically submitted once you input it.
  • Once your code is automatically submitted, a menu will appear.
    To verify that 2FA via Twilio Authy is turned on, make sure it says Activated. For more security, check all the toggles under the Enable 2FA column.
