Monex 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on Monex to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Monex asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
A Monex account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Besides an authenticator app, Monex 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 Monex account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Monex 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. If Monex doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Monex's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
