How to enable 2FA on NairaEx

← NairaEx overview Supported

Protect your NairaEx account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to NairaEx and open your NairaEx account security settings.
2
Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.
3
Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.
Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code NairaEx displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
4
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your NairaEx account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes NairaEx gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on NairaEx can change — the official NairaEx 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
