2FA, or Two-Factor Authentication, is a method of securing an account by requiring the use of two different factors to confirm the Client's identity. Instead of relying only on a password (one factor), 2FA adds an additional level of security.

Within XTB, the second verification factor is an SMS code sent to the Client's phone number.

2FA can be launched from the xStation platform (browser version) and from the mobile application.

To launch 2FA in the mobile application, click the Profile icon in the upper left corner -> Settings -> Two-factor authentication button:

To enable 2FA on the xStation platform, click the three lines in the upper right corner -> Settings -> Two-Factor Authentication:
