How to set up Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

How to add Two Factor Authentication for TradeCentre

Step 1:

If you do not already have an Authentication App downloaded on your mobile device, you will need to download one from the App Store on your device. We recommend discussing with your own internal IT team if there is a preferred app to use at your business. Examples of some available apps are:

Microsoft Authenticator

Google Authenticator

Authy

Step 2:

In FinClear's TradeCentre (TC) - go to Account settings which is in the top right-hand corner of the platform

Step 3:

Select Two-Factor Authentication, then click "Enable via Authentication App". You should then see a QR code.

If your Two Factor Authentication is ‘Enabled’ you do not need to take any further action.

Step 4:

Open your preferred authentication app and navigate to add a new account/code/login.

Scan the QR code, enter the current verification code shown on your device, then click Verify.

You may be prompted to name the account, if you like you can name as "FinClear" or "TradeCentre".

Step 5 (next time you log in):

Once 2FA is enabled, your chosen authentication app will display a code that is unique to your FinClear login (the code changes every 30 seconds or so). Enter this code when you are asked for "Second Factor".

If you have other codes set up in the same Authenticator App, take care to enter the correct code for your FinClear/TradeCentre login.
