CryptoNow doesn’t force two-factor authentication at sign-up, but it’s required the moment you do anything that matters.
Email 2FA and Google Authenticator are effectively mandatory. Both must be on before you can withdraw, move funds, view private or API keys, or delete a wallet or account. Set them up now so nothing blocks you later.
Everything here lives under Settings → Security.

1

Confirm your email

Under Confirm E-mail, click Send link, then open the message and confirm. The status flips to Confirmed.
2

Enable email 2FA

Click Enable 2FA under Enable E-mail 2FA. From now on, a code is emailed to you for sensitive actions.
3

Enable Google Authenticator

Under Two-factor authentication, click Enable 2FA, scan the QR code with Google Authenticator (or any TOTP app), and enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

Store your authenticator backup somewhere safe. If you lose the device, regaining access means contacting support.
4

Save your backup phrase

Under Backup Phrase, click Start Backup and write down the 12 words in order, offline. This recovers your account if you lose your password.
Both factors on, your account looks like this:

Restrict API access (for API users)

If you’ll use the API, lock it down under Settings → Security by allowlisting the IP, Origin, and User-Agent that may call it. Skip this if you’re not building an integration.

One thing not to touch: leave autosign on. It’s on by default and signs your checkouts, sweeps, and swaps automatically — turning it off breaks those flows.
