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.

    • As more users embrace Dapp, it gets easier to trade crypto, engage in DeFi lending/borrowing and trade NFTs. With the growing need to trade NFT comes the introduction of Love Power Movement, a transparent and accessible marketplace with the best conditions for successful NFT sales. Although the NFT sector has recorded significant growth, it's still impeded by challenges like low protection of artists' and buyers' data, absence of organised policy protecting sellers and buyers amongst others. Love Power aims to tackle those by offering fixed commissions and royalties to creators, ensuring proper profit for sales. LPM token forming a crucial part of the ecosystem has been launched with no presale and VC investment, with intent to direct proceeds from token sales to NFT artists. As $LPM prepares to list on Bitget, the vast community of Love Power Movement would surely be watching keenly.
    • I missed out on NOTCOIN airdrop though i took advantage to buy it at $0.05 when it dipped and in a short while it rose back to $0.2. Made some decent gains there and I'm still holding. I will explore the giveaway to boost my NOTCOIN portfolio on the cex. Right now, my focus on the pre-market trading for hamster on Bitget, I want to make the best use of the Hamster airdrop I'm anticipating.
    • Dear @br864626, Please note that you can transfer shares from your employer's Share Incentive Plan (SIP) or Save As You Earn Scheme (SAYE) to an IG ISA, you will have to ask the provider to initiate the transfer. Thanks, KoketsoIG
