Use KGI Key
Two-Factor Authentication is a method of verifying a user identity by utilizing a combination of two distinct elements:
- Something a client knows (e.g., password),
- Something a client has (e.g., physical security device, mobile phone), and
- Some distinctive features a client has (e.g., biometric authentication).
Two-factor authentication (2FA) applies to all users who login to their internet trading accounts to carry out the following activities:
- Dealing in securities
- Dealing in futures contracts
- Asset management
