How Do I Setup Two Factor Authorization on My eToro Account?

Two-factor authorization (also known as 2FA) is an ideal way to protect your account from hackers and any other black hat Internet activity. If you're wondering how to set up two-factor authorization on your eToro account, rest assured; the process is quick and doesn't require advanced technical skills.

Enabling 2FA provides an additional layer of security, preventing cybercriminals from stealing your login credentials. Read further for instructions on how to enable 2FA on eToro and to learn how the feature can help keep your account safe.

How To Set up Two-Factor Authorization on eToro

eToro suggests activating 2FA to prevent other users and hackers from accessing their investment accounts. Check you have an active phone number and email address on file to complete the authorization process. Also, make sure the information you entered while creating an eToro profile is still valid. Otherwise, you won't receive any notifications if your email address and mobile number aren't on file.

Follow the steps below to strengthen account security and minimize hacking activity.

  1. Visit the eToro website.
  2. Sign in and tap Account Settings. (If you're enabling authorization on the website, click Settings on the left-hand side of the menu, and then Account. However, if you prefer to use the app, you can tap the three lines at the top of the screen, then Settings and Account.)
  3. Ensure you're receiving SMS notifications and then click Apply.
  4. Click the OFF switch under the Security link to activate two-factor authentication and save your changes.
  5. Enter the SMS code and then Apply.

Contacting eToro Customer Service Support

Reaching out to a customer representative is the best way to solve technical issues. Some users may experience difficulty accessing their accounts or want further clarification about adding an extra layer of security. eToro may prompt you to upload at least one government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or U.S. passport before you can speak to a representative. Other accepted verification methods include proof of address, email and phone validation.

Live Chat: Communicate with a customer service representative using the live chat feature. If you prefer real-time communication, you can get quick answers to questions or concerns after starting a discussion.

Online Help Desk: If you need another resource to get help from the customer support team, the online help desk is the best way to send inquiries and discuss your situation. This contact method is a direct approach to solving solutions for advanced problems.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for eToro Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
