Independent Reserve 2FA Setup Guide
Enable two-factor authentication on Independent Reserve to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Independent Reserve asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Independent Reserve sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, Independent Reserve also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

How to recover your Independent Reserve account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Independent Reserve gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes.
