What is two-step authentication and how to use it?

1. What is two-step authentication?

Two Step Authentication is an added security measure available on your account. It provides an additional layer of security to your account by requiring a code from your smartphone to be entered along with your email and password. The code then is used to sign in to your NETELLER Account or on a merchant cashier page in place of the Secure ID.

Note: Two-step authentication is not available for Windows Phone.

2. How do I enable two-step authentication?

    1. In your NETELLER Account click on Settings and then on Security.

    2. In the Two-step authentication section click on Enable.

5. How to use NETELLER at a merchant site (cashier page)?

6. What is a trusted device and how do I use it?

Trusted Devices are devices that you can request to remember during the authentication process. Setting a device as trusted allows you to sign into your NETELLER account from that device without being required to complete a security check. To set a device as trusted, you need to select the Trust this device option on the login page. Next time you sign into your NETELLER account from this device, you will not need to pass any additional security check.

7. How can I remove a device?

The Trusted Devices section will only appear in your NETELLER account if you have set up a device as trusted. To remove a device, follow the steps bellow:

    1. On the Settings section from your NETELLER account, click on Security.

    2. Click on Remove next to the device you would like to remove.

All devices allow the owner to remove accounts from the Google Authenticator. Removing an account on a user's device does NOT mean that two-step authentication has been disabled on the NETELLER Account.
