From now on, you’ll enter a new code each time you log in. Never share this code with anyone.

Make 2FA part of your login

If someone gets into your account before you’ve set up 2FA, they can turn it on with their own phone and lock you out. Set it up yourself, and never share your 6-digit code, even with someone who says they’re from Deriv.

Turn on 2FA now

Log in to Deriv and follow the 3 steps above.

Common questions

Which authenticator app can I use?

Google Authenticator, 1Password and Authy all work. Download your app from the App Store or Google Play.

What changes after I turn on 2FA?

Your Deriv login will include a second step after password. You'll need to enter the 6-digit code shown in your authenticator app when prompted to log in and start trading.

What if my code doesn’t work?

Make sure you are using the current code for your Deriv account. Codes refresh every few seconds. Also check that your phone’s date and time are set automatically, because authenticator codes depend on the correct time. If it still doesn’t work, contact us via live chat or WhatsApp.

What if I lose my phone or access to my app?

Contact Deriv support for help with account access. Never share your password or an authentication code with anyone.
