How do I set up biometric as 2FA in my account?
As per the new exchange compliance regulations, it is mandatory to set 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) up in your account by 30 September 2022. 2FA adds an extra layer of protection in addition to your account password and can be either:
- TOTP
- SMS/email-based OTP
- Biometric (on mobile phones)
From 1 October 2022, you will not be able to access our trading platforms without having one of the above enabled in your account.
Biometric 2FA can be used to access your trading account on a mobile phone and includes fingerprint/face ID.
Please ensure that you add your fingerprint/face ID to your mobile device before enabling the option on SELFIE Mobile.

Step 1. Log in to SELFIE Mobile
