Finmo takes your data security seriously.  That's why we give you the option to turn on two-step authentication for your account. Two-factor authentication is a process that involves two authentication methods performed one after the other to verify that someone or something requesting access is who or what they are declared to be.  This is an optional feature that adds more security to your account. When you have two-factor authentication enabled, any attempt to verify your account on Finmo  must be accompanied by the six-digit PIN that you created using this feature. 

To set up two-factor authentication you will need a mobile device with a camera. You will also need a 2FA app such as Authy or Google Authenticator.
