Dear Members of the Deriv Community,

Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security designed to ensure that you’re the only person who can access your account, even if someone knows your password.

You will need your mobile phone to remove this feature. Refer to the steps below on how to remove the 2FA:

1. Please visit the link below:  
[Deriv App | Deriv](https://app.deriv.com/account/two-factor-authentication)

1. From your mobile, open the 2FA application (Authy or Google Authenticator) and get the 6-digit code.

2. Once you enter the 6-digit code, click on the “Disable 2FA” button.

3. The page will automatically go to the Login Page for you to re-login without the 2FA application.

4. Once logged in, you have successfully removed the 2FA.
