Managing Two Factor Authentication

Two-Factor authentication provides an additional layer of security to your account. When enabled you will be asked for a 6-digit code in addition to your email and password.  Please note that Two Factor Authentication is only available on the web version of OrbitRemit currently and will be available on the iOS and Android applications in the near future. 

You will require an authentication app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy or 1Password to set up Two Factor Authentication.
