At Genome, your security is our top priority, as our team continually works to improve features that enhance the protection of your money and data.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a security update launching in June for your Genome app! It is an upgrade to the two-factor authentication (TFA) process.
Just a reminder, a TFA is used to verify your identity using at least two factors: something you know (a password), something you have (your phone), or something you are (like a fingerprint).
Thus, if an unauthorized party attempts to log into your accounts, perform transfers, or take other actions, there is a significantly lower chance they will be able to do so. Because they would have to prove their identity in 2 ways, which usually requires the presence of a true account holder.
Genome’s TFA update is related to the way our clients confirm all the major actions inside their wallets, including logins, transfers, payments, etc. Now, when you perform an action inside your Genome account, you get a more detailed overview of what exactly you confirm.
With this update, we’re making the confirmation process clearer and more user-friendly so you know exactly what’s expected when approving actions within your account.
You can already test this inside your Genome app! See for yourself – it allows you to manage operations and payments in a more efficient way!
