River Financial 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App
River Financial lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your River Financial account safe even if your password leaks.
Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your River Financial sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, River Financial 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 River Financial account
If you lose access to your authenticator and River Financial 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 River Financial doesn't, or you didn't save them, use River Financial's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
