Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security for your Stockpile account. Instead of entering a password to log in, you’ll also enter a code that we send to your mobile number in a text message. This additional step helps make sure that you, and only you, can access your account.
You will want to make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the mobile app.
How to turn on two-factor authentication (2FA)
Log into the Stockpile mobile app
Select the menu by tapping the account icon in the upper left-hand corner
Select Account
Select Security
Select the toggle button next to Two-factor authentication (2FA) to enable this additional security feature
You will have an option to update your phone number when turning the feature on. Please make sure that we have your current mobile phone number. You will need this phone when you log into your Stockpile account
Once you enable the feature and ensure that your phone number is correct, we will send you a code via text message that you can enter to verify the phone number and complete the process to enable 2FA.
