• How to Set Up 2FA on Your BitStarz Account

  2FA apps such as Google Authenticator and Authy randomly generate a code every minute or so, which is matched to a specific key associated with your login. In essence, this means that whenever a login asks for your 2FA code, it knows which number to expect and will only unlock if that correct number is entered. Source: 5 months ago

• Location Tracking 2FA Apps

  Is this a proprietary MFA app, or is it compatible with generic TOTP and HOTP apps?
