I love IG but the 2FA solution is terrible

Please consider supporting one of the existing 2FA apps, or do it via a push notification to the  main IG app.

Thanks so much!

I recommend using it though, being protected by a password only is deficient by today's standards no matter how complex it is. 

The FCA has regulations on banks' use of MFA, but I think they should extend it to brokers and dealing platforms too.

Agree; this is by far the worst implementation of MFA I've seen.

HI @Rhoml,

Thank you for your feedback, I believe the development team is working on a new solution for MFA. I will forward you feedback to be reviewed.

All the best - Arvin

I signed up to IG this week and agree, the implementation of 2FA is amazingly bad. Having to add your generated code to the password is silly.
