How do I enable and/or disable my Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) / OTP?

In order to protect your wallet more securely, it is MANDATORY to add Two-Factor Authentication as a second layer of security to your account.

To set up your 2FA, login to your OSL account with your registered email address and password.

OTP (One-Time Password)

Using Google Authenticator as example, please see the below:

in your OSL account, select the 'Settings' tab, and then click 'Security' and 'ADD NEW'.
Download the Google Authenticator app (or other OTP compatible app) from the Play Store (Android) or from the iTunes App Store (iOS) and install on your mobile device.
Open the Google Authenticator app and, click the '+' sign at the top right section of the application.
Select 'Scan a Barcode' and, scan the unique QR code displayed on the OSL website or, copy the Secret Key to the Google Authenticator app.
Activate Two Factor authentication by submitting the verification code displayed on your mobile device into the OTP field on the OSL website and press ‘Confirm’.

If successful, you will see a ‘Time-based One-time Password 1’ listed under OTP (One-Time-Password) and you will receive an email to your registered account confirming your 2FA activation.

To disable 2-Factor Authentication on your OSL account, contact [email protected]. You must contract support using your registered email and will be required to response to a number of security questions to verify your identity.

YubiKeys

Select the 'Settings' tab and then click 'Security'
Click 'ADD NEW' under 'YubiKeys'
On a computer, insert your 'YubiKey' into a USB-port and touch the 'YubiKey' touchpad. This will automatically fill in and confirm your 2 Factor Authentication.

If successful, you will see your 'YubiKey Id1' listed under 'YubiKeys' and you will receive an email to your registered account confirming your 2FA activation.
