Turn on two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication asks for a 6-digit code from an app on your phone each time you sign in, so a stolen password alone cannot open your dashboard.

Plan: every plan.

Start the setup

  1. Open Settings › Account Security.
  2. Under Two-Factor Authentication, click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.

Settings › Account Security with the Enable Two-Factor Authentication button

Scan the QR code

  1. Open an authenticator app on your phone (Google Authenticator, Authy or similar) and scan the QR code. The new entry is called SPACE-TRACKER. Cannot scan? Copy the Setup key into the app instead.
  2. Type the 6-digit code the app shows into Verification Code and click Verify & Enable.

The QR code to scan, the setup key, the Verification Code field and Verify & Enable

Save your recovery codes

  1. Save the ten recovery codes with Download or Copy. They are shown only once.
  2. Click I've Saved My Recovery Codes.

Sign in with your code

  1. Enter your email and password and click Sign in.
  2. On Enter your code, type the 6-digit code from your app into Authentication code and click Verify.

Enter your code: the 6-digit Authentication code and, below Verify, Lost your phone? Use a recovery code

Sign in without your phone

  1. On Enter your code, click Lost your phone? Use a recovery code.
  2. Type one of your saved recovery codes into Recovery code and click Verify. Small letters are fine; the field turns them into capitals.

Enter a recovery code: one of the 8-character codes in the Recovery code field, and Verify

That code is now used up. Once you are in, set up two-factor on your new phone (turn it off, then on again) and save the new recovery codes.

With two-factor on, being signed in on algotradingspace.com no longer signs you in to the tracker by itself; use your password and code. Signed up with Google and have no password? Set one first with Forgot your password, or signed up with Google? on the sign-in page.

Turn it off or get new recovery codes

  1. Open Settings › Account Security.
  2. To turn it off, click Disable Two-Factor Authentication, enter a code from your app or a recovery code, and click Confirm Disable.
  3. For new recovery codes, click Regenerate Recovery Codes. The old codes stop working.

Good to know

  • Each recovery code works once.
  • Lost your phone and your recovery codes? Write to [email protected].
  • Two-factor protects the dashboard sign-in. The ATS Terminal EA uses its access key and keeps reporting as before.
  • Your password belongs to your Algo Trading Space account. Change it with Manage Password on Algo Trading Space on the same tab.
