Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) plays a crucial role in ensuring the highest level of security for your WebitPay card. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to bind your 2FA QR code using the Google Authenticator app and emphasizes the importance of retaining 2FA backup codes.
Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication:

Enhancing Security:
The generated six-digit verification codes serve as an additional layer of security, especially when performing sensitive operations (such as viewing the CVV or changing the 2FA verification code). These codes ensure that only authorized users can access these critical features, thus enhancing the protection of your WebitPay card.
