2FA ?


NicoPang

Question

Hi

It looks like the only 2FA option available with IG is with using IG proprietary authentication app, am I correct?  I would like to use a Yubikey or at worst, a phone number, is it possible at all ?

Looking at the app review it looks like many people get locked out of their account which terrifies me.  

 

thanks

Hey @NicoPang

Thanks for your post. 

We only offer the IG authentication but I'm more than happy to pass this feedback on about integrating more authentication apps. 

Most of the login issues are due to too many incorrect password attempt or people trying to login when their accounts aren't set up yet. If you ever have login issues you can call us and we can unlock it. 

Sorry we can't link up any other authentication apps at the moment.

If your account is blocked, you will not be able to unblock it via Yubikey. It is better to leave your phone number. Although I would not take any chances, because the number is linked to the service and your account may be displayed there.

 The best option is a temporary phone number germany to deflect suspicion and make yourself a foreign user. I don't like to leave my number in such cases. So you should also consider whether it's worth registering personal details on the internet at all.

    • DXY updated chart - note discount on previous chart should have been premium 
    • I believe this is nothing but a witch hunt cos apparently Binance is on its way to been the biggest company world over. Also, there are rumours that all this hapenings could be BlackRock making a move to clear the house ahead of the most awaited ETF. Notwithstanding, i took precautionary measures and moved my funds to Bitget and Bybit, better to be safe than sorry yah.
    • Crypto industry maybe seen as one of the fastest growing industries in the world today, boasting of a remarkable growth that is capable of making many forget in a hurry all the hurdles it had to beat during its infancy. Although not void of limitations still, no industry is anyways, it has well exceeded early expectations and earned global interest. So scrolling through my Instagram feeds today and seeing the footballing icon and 8th time Ballon d'or winner, Lionel Messi’s post of him celebrating his 1 year anniversary partnership with the crypto exchange, Bitget, I was left reminiscing all the challenges the industry had to overcome to get to where it is today. As a crypto enthusiast who is eager to see the industry reach greater heights, such high-profile partnership thrills me. For one, for the industry to leap further, the issue of lack of trust must be resolved. Lionel Messi well understands his position in his country Argentina as a demi-god, his 500m global followers on IG idolise him. He and his crew must have done their background checks before endorsing the crypto exchange to protect his reputation and also for his followers’ interest. The global reach from this partnership is also a win for the exchange and the industry in general. It portrays the exchange as trustworthy and reliable, and readily welcomes newbies, further boosting crypto adoption. 2009-2023 has been an adventurous journey for the crypto industry, there might have been some tides here and there but the ship is sailing smoothly. Has crypto industry striked mainstream adoption to afford sealing high-profile partnerships like this?
