A Trading 212 account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Trading 212 secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

Menu names on Trading 212 can change — the official Trading 212 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your Trading 212 account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Trading 212 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 Trading 212 doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Trading 212's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
