How do I set up two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Updated over a week ago

To help protect your Adro account from unauthorized access, we encourage you to enable two-factor authentication (sometimes called 2FA or multi-factor authentication).

What is two-factor authentication?

Two-factor authentication is built on the idea that there are three ways to prove your identity online. You can authenticate yourself using:

  • Something you know, such as a PIN or a password

  • Something you have, like a smartphone or a security key

  • Something physically unique to you, like a fingerprint or a face scan

When you log in with a username and a password, that’s one factor of authentication. However, a password isn’t enough to protect your online accounts. When an account requires the use of a second factor (such as a unique, one-time use code that is generated each time you login or change key account information) along with a password, that can reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

How do I enable two-factor authentication?

You can enable this at any time:

  1. Login to your account

  2. Navigate to 'Settings,' then to 'Security'

  3. Click 'Two-factor auth settings,' then to 'Setup'

  4. Follow the instructions using your preferred 2FA app

What 2FA apps does Adro support?

In addition to SMS (text message), we also support the following 2FA apps:

  • Authy

  • Duo Mobile

  • Google Authenticator

  • Microsoft Authenticator

  • And more

Is it mandatory to set up two-factor authentication on Adro?

No. The decision to enable two-factor authentication is up to you. However, we do encourage you to turn on this feature to help protect your account and money.
