  • Peace of Mind: Feel confident knowing your personal and financial information is secure.
  • Simple Setup: It takes just a few minutes to add this powerful protection to your account.

 How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication on SmartHub

  • Log In to SmartHub: Open the app or visit the website and sign in to your account.
  • Go to Settings: Navigate to the Settings menu.
  • Select Two-Factor Authentication: Locate the security settings and click “Two-Factor Authentication.”
  • Enable 2FA: Follow the on-screen instructions to enable and set up your preferred verification method, such as receiving a text message or email code.
