Set Up Secure Login for Your Wallet

If you skipped the wallet setup step during your initial verification, your wallet has limited functionality. You'll need to set up a secure login method (passkey or authenticator app) to access your wallet and grant permissions to service providers.

  3. Check your inbox for a verification link and click it

Step 4: Test Your 2FA Setup

  1. Log out of your VerifiMe account completely

  2. Enter your email address

  3. When prompted, open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit code

  4. Verify that you can successfully log in


Troubleshooting

Code not working? Ensure your phone's time is synchronised correctly—authenticator apps rely on accurate time to generate valid codes.

QR code won't scan? Look for a manual entry option in your authenticator app to enter the setup key instead.

Security Tips

  • Never share your 6-digit codes with anyone
