AJ Bell Youinvest 2FA Setup Guide
AJ Bell Youinvest supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your AJ Bell Youinvest account.
A AJ Bell Youinvest account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. AJ Bell Youinvest secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.
