Why enable 2FA?
Two-factor authentication dramatically reduces the chance of unauthorized access. If an attacker obtains your password, 2FA adds a second barrier — usually a code from an authenticator app or a security key.
How to enable authenticator 2FA (recommended)
- Login to MEXC and go to Security settings.
- Choose Authenticator App (Google Authenticator / Authy).
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and save backup codes offline.
- Enter the generated code to confirm and save settings.
Backup & recovery best practices
- Store backup codes offline (paper or hardware vault).
- Consider a secure password manager for long passwords.
- Register an account-specific recovery email and verify it.
