How To Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication
November 14, 2024
Background:
Your Rocko smart wallet is a non-custodial smart contract account on Ethereum and is essential for taking out a loan using the Rocko platform. Since it’s non-custodial, you have sole control over any funds held in the wallet through your Dynamic login (the login used for your Rocko account). This means the security of your Rocko wallet depends directly on the security of your Dynamic login, which itself is a non-custodial embedded wallet. To further protect your account and funds, enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on your Dynamic login is highly recommended, as it helps reduce the risk of account takeover or unauthorized access.

How Time-Based One-Time Passwords Work
Time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) are a more secure form of multi-factor authentication that generates unique, temporary codes based on short time intervals, typically every 30 seconds. Instead of being sent via SMS or email, TOTPs are generated directly on the user’s device using an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator. The TOTP algorithm produces a code that is valid only for a short period, making it resistant to interception or reuse by malicious actors. After setting up MFA, you’ll be asked to input your TOTP whenever you login. You can always turn off MFA in Dynamic Login settings.
