Tradovate offers multiple security options to keep your information secure.
Users will be able to use the following methods for 2-factor authentication. Once standard 2-step verification is enabled, the additional methods can be turned on as well:
- Standard 2-Step Verification - In this option, when you log into a new device, you will receive an email with an option to Approve or Deny the new device. If you click “Approve” you will be allowed to login on the new device. If you click “Deny”, attempting to login to Tradovate on the new device will not be allowed.
- Sign in on a trusted device - In this option, when you log into a new device, you will receive an email with an option to Approve or Deny the new device. If you select Approve, you will be prompted to sign into the Live environment on a device that has already been approved. Once logged in, you will click “Send” on the 2-Step Verification Approval email screen and a confirmation will show up on the trusted device. If the confirmation is clicked on the trusted device, you will be allowed to login on the new device. If you click “Deny”, attempting to login to Tradovate on the new device will not be allowed.
- Security Key - In this option, you will need to “Setup” a Security Key (or multiple security keys...we recommend having 2) in Tradovate. After setting this up, when you log into a new device, you will receive an email with an option to approve or deny the new device. If you select Approve, you will be prompted to verify with the security key (touch the key, or NFC or fingerprint scan). If you click “Deny”, attempting to login to Tradovate on the new device will not be allowed.
- Authenticator App - In this option, you will need to “Setup” the Authenticator App in Tradovate. You will select either iOS or Android and be presented with a QR code to scan in order to set up Tradovate in Google Authenticator. After setting this up, when you log into a new device, you will receive an email with an option to approve or deny the new device. If you select Approve, you will be prompted to enter the 6 digit code from your Authenticator app associated with “Tradovate”. If you click “Deny”, attempting to login to Tradovate on the new device will not be allowed.
- Text Message (SMS) - In this option, you will need to “Setup” SMS in Tradovate. To set up, you will be prompted to enter in your mobile number. A 6 digit code will be sent to the entered mobile number which will need to be entered. After setting this up, when you log into a new device, you will receive an email with an option to approve or deny the new device. If you select Approve, you will be prompted to enter the 6 digit code from the text message received. If you click “Deny”, attempting to login to Tradovate on the new device will not be allowed.
