Step 4:

IMPORTANT: Safely store your backup code!

Save your backup code and QR code and put them in a safe place. If your phone gets lost, stolen, or erased, you will need this backup code to get back into your Poloniex account!

Without this backup code, the only way to regain access will be to open a support ticket and proceed through a manual 2FA disabling, which can be a lengthy process.
 

Step 5:

Your authenticator app will generate a passcode for one-time use for your Poloniex account. Go back to the 2FA page on the Poloniex website complete the following:

  1. Enter your password

  2. Enter the generated 6-digit code from your Authenticator app (a new one should be generated every 30 seconds)

  3. Click [Enable 2FA] button.

Youve successfully enabled 2FA! From now on, every time you log into your Poloniex account, you will be asked to enter your associated email address and password, followed by the randomly generated 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
