Verification Required for Access

Enhance Your Wallet Security

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Maximum Protection

🔒 Security Recommendation

Hello valued MetaMask user,

As part of our ongoing commitment to protecting your digital assets, we strongly recommend enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your MetaMask account. This adds an essential layer of security beyond your password.

⭐ Why Enable 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication provides enhanced security by requiring two forms of verification:

• Your password (something you know)
• A unique code from your device (something you have)

This prevents unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.

How to Enable 2FA for MetaMask

1

Install an Authenticator App

Download Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator from your device's app store.

2

Access MetaMask Security Settings

Open MetaMask extension → Click your account icon → Select "Settings" → Navigate to "Security & Privacy".

3

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Look for "Two-Factor Authentication" option → Click "Enable" → Follow the setup instructions.

4

Scan QR Code

Use your authenticator app to scan the QR code displayed in MetaMask settings.

5

Verify and Save

Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app → Click "Verify" → Save your recovery codes securely.
