To protect your Angel One account better, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) is important. It adds an extra security layer by asking for two types of verification—your MPIN and an OTP sent to your registered mobile number. This stops others from accessing your account even if they know your password.

What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Angel One?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) on Angel One means you need two proofs to log in: your MPIN (a 4-digit code) and an OTP (one-time password) sent to your registered mobile number. This makes your account much safer from hacking or unauthorized use.

How to Enable 2FA on Angel One Mobile App?

Follow these simple steps to enable 2FA on the Angel One mobile app:

1. Open the Angel One app on your phone.
2. Go to the "Account" tab at the bottom.
3. Select "Settings" from the menu.
4. Tap on "Change/Enable MPIN".
5. Enter your current MPIN, then set and confirm a new 4-digit MPIN.
6. Tap "Submit" to save the changes.

Once done, you will need to enter your MPIN and an OTP sent to your mobile each time you log in, keeping your account secure.

Why Should You Enable 2FA on Angel One?

Enabling 2FA greatly improves your account’s safety. It stops unauthorized people from accessing your account, even if they get your password. This is especially important for financial accounts like Angel One where your money and investments are involved.

What If You Forget Your MPIN?

If you forget your MPIN, you can reset it easily through the Angel One app or website. Use the "Forgot MPIN" option and verify your identity using your registered mobile number or email. After verification, set a new MPIN to continue using 2FA.
