Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method that requires two forms of identification to access data

 and resources.

In XT, users can secure their accounts using:

- Google Authenticator

- SMS Code Verification

- Email Code Verification

These methods can be used for login, withdrawals, and changing security settings to enhance security for 

your XT account.

To set up 2FA on the XT website, follow these steps:

1. Log into your XT account.

2. Click on the "Profile" icon, then select "Security Center" from the dropdown menu or visit
https://www.xt.com/account/index.

3. Choose Two-factor Authentication and click on the "Connect" button.

For Google 2FA, scan the barcode or input the keywords manually to display the OTP code in the authenticator,

 which refreshes every 30 seconds.

For SMS 2FA, input your phone number to receive the OTP code.

For Email 2FA, input your email address to receive the OTP code in your email inbox.

Enter the code on the XT.com page.

Complete any additional security verifications required by the system.

You can change your Two-Factor Authentication. For security reasons, withdrawals or P2P selling from your

account will be disabled for 24 hours after you change the security verification.
