In the meantime, I'll show you how to enable two-factor authentication to improve your account security.
Two-Factor Authentication (or 2FA) is used to better secure your account from potential hackers. By using 2FA, hackers will have to take it a step further to break into your account.
By using 2FA, you will confirm logins with your phone, email or sometimes an authenticator app.
In this case, DCEX uses the Google Authenticator for 2FA protection. To continue with the next steps ensure you have the Google Authenticator app for IOS or Android.
In your DCEX account settings, you'll see an option for Two-Factor Authentication. Change the toggle to the “On” position and click the “Update 2FA” button.

Click the “Show QRCode” button to display your 2FA QR code. You'll need this QR code to add your DCEX account to the Google Authenticator app.
Download the Google Authenticator app for IOS or Android if you haven't already.
Open the Google Authenticator app on your phone and tap the “+” plus symbol in the upper right corner. This will give you two options — “Scan barcode” or “Manual entry”.
Once you add your account to Google Authenticator, the app will begin generating DCEX authenticator codes. Copy the 6 digits from the Google Authenticator app into the DCEX “Authentication Code” field.
Finally, click the “Enable 2FA” button to complete your DCEX 2FA setup.
If you receive an error message stating that the code is incorrect, wait a minute and try a newly generated authentication code.
Now that you have 2FA enabled on your account, you're required to enter it upon your account sign in.
On the login form, enter your username and password and click “Sign In” like normal.
On successful credential submission, DCEX will check if your account has 2FA enabled. If enabled, you'll also be asked to enter your 2FA code.
Use the Google Authenticator app to get your 6 digit verification code. Enter that code in the authentication code field. Finish by clicking the “Sign In” button to access your account.
By now you should have your DCEX sign up complete. Your account should also either be verified or in process of getting verified.
