Insight
Account security is as important as your trading strategy. Here is what you need to know to keep your Citadel Pros Market account safe.
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an essential security measure for financial services to protect user accounts and transactions.
It adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide two forms of identification before accessing their accounts. This means that even if an attacker obtains your password, they still cannot log in without the second factor — typically a time-sensitive code generated on your phone.
At Citadel Pros Market, we strongly recommend enabling 2FA on your account. It is one of the most effective steps you can take to protect your portfolio and personal information from unauthorised access.
Enable 2FA in your account settings under Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
Why 2FA Matters
Financial accounts are high-value targets for attackers. Two-factor authentication addresses the most common attack vectors and gives you meaningful protection even when passwords are compromised.
Enhanced Security
2FA adds an extra layer of security beyond just usernames and passwords. It requires users to provide a second form of identification, making it significantly harder for unauthorised individuals to gain access. Even if a password is compromised, an additional authentication factor is required.
Protection Against Credential Theft
With the prevalence of data breaches and phishing attacks, username and password combinations can be easily compromised. 2FA helps mitigate the risk of credential theft by introducing a separate authentication factor that is difficult for attackers to obtain or replicate.
Time-Based One-Time Passwords
Mobile authenticator apps generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) that are unique for each login attempt. These passwords are typically valid for only a short period, making them difficult for attackers to intercept or guess — significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
Convenience & User-Friendly Experience
Mobile authenticator apps are typically easy to use and offer a convenient way to generate verification codes. Users can quickly access the app on their smartphones and retrieve the code required for authentication, eliminating the need to wait for codes sent via SMS or email.
Setting Up Your Authenticator
To get started with 2FA on your Citadel Pros Market account, you will need a mobile authenticator app. The most widely used and trusted apps include Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator, both of which are available for free on iOS and Android.
Once installed, navigate to your account security settings and select Two-Factor Authentication. You will be shown a QR code which you scan with your authenticator app. From that point forward, every login will require you to enter the six-digit code shown in the app — a code that changes every 30 seconds and cannot be reused.
Keep a secure backup of your recovery codes in case you lose access to your device. These codes are provided during setup and allow you to regain access to your account without your authenticator app. Store them somewhere safe and offline — never in the same place as your password.
