Yes, Angel One offers two-factor authentication (2FA). This means you need two different types of verification to log in – like an OTP plus your 4-digit MPIN or biometric login. It keeps your account more secure and aligned with regulator rules.
What Is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, means you need two different proofs to log in – something you know (like your MPIN) and something you have (like an OTP sent to your phone) or something you are (like a fingerprint or Face ID). This extra layer makes your account safer.
How Does 2FA Work on Angel One?
When you log in, you'll enter your Client ID or mobile number, receive an OTP via SMS or email, and then enter your MPIN. If you enable biometric login (fingerprint or Face ID), that can replace MPIN. For Android users, you can also use device PIN or screen lock. Once you complete this process, you won't need OTP again for up to 30 days.
What Are the Login Options?
Angel One supports:
- OTP (sent to mobile or email) + MPIN
- OTP + biometric login (fingerprint or Face ID)
- On Android: device screen lock + MPIN or biometrics
How Often Is OTP Needed?
Once you complete the OTP + MPIN or biometrics step, you won't need to enter OTP again for up to 7–30 days (depending on device and settings). You’ll only need MPIN or biometric login after that, which saves time while keeping you secure.
Why Use 2FA on Angel One?
2FA adds a stronger layer of protection to your account, making it much harder for hackers to get in—even if they know your password. This follows SEBI regulations and ensures your investments and personal data stay safe.
What Should You Do to Stay Safe?
Always use strong passwords, don't share MPIN or OTP with anyone, and enable biometrics for extra safety. If you get unexpected messages or login attempts, contact Angel One support right away.
