Section 2.1.3: Two-Factor Authentication & Security Keys
Fortify account defense with hardware keys, TOTP authenticator applications, and biometric login.

Two-Factor Authentication & Security Keys

Essential account protection protocols utilizing time-based one-time passwords and cryptographic keys.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is strictly required for all withdrawal actions, credential updates, and merchant operations.

Core Architecture & Principles

  • Authenticator Apps (TOTP): Full compatibility with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy.
  • Hardware FIDO2 Security Keys: Support for YubiKey and WebAuthn hardware tokens for high-value merchant accounts.
  • Emergency Recovery Codes: Single-use emergency recovery passcodes generated during 2FA initialization.

Operational Process & Execution Flow

Code Vaulting

Safely record and store emergency fallback recovery codes in an offline, air-gapped vault.
