Does Merrill Edge support 2FA?
Merrill Edge does not currently support authenticator-app (TOTP) two-factor authentication. Merrill Edge does offer 2FA via SMS text message and a security key — better than nothing, but an authenticator app is the more secure option if Merrill Edge adds it.
2FA methods Merrill Edge supports
- SMS text message
- Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
Merrill Edge does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.
How to keep your Merrill Edge account secure
Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method Merrill Edge offers, and stay alert to phishing. See Merrill Edge's official security documentation ↗. If Merrill Edge adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use MS Authenticator App.
