When you open a Stake account, it's important to keep it as safe as possible. During signup you’ll be prompted to enter and confirm your mobile number, so we can send you a code whenever you log into your account. 

We recommend upgrading from two-factor authentication (2FA) using your mobile number (via SMS) to 2FA via an authenticator app. 

Here’s how:

• Log in to Stake App or Web 

• Go to More > Settings > Security > Account verification

• Download an authenticator app onto your phone (like Google Authenticator or Authy) 

• On your authenticator app, add a new account

• Scan the QR Code (or enter the 16-digit key) 

• Go back to Stake and enter the code generated on your app
