At MGID, we prioritize the safety of our clients and partners. Adding extra protection like 2FA is part of our commitment to keeping your data secure. 2FA works by using two steps to verify your identity: your password and a one-time code (OTP) sent to your email. This makes it much harder for anyone to access your account, even if your password is compromised. Key benefits: - Reduces the risk of account breaches from leaked passwords or phishing - Strengthens the protection of your data and account access - Follows industry security best practices - Minimizes risks from reused or weak passwords We strongly recommend enabling 2FA if: - You manage advertising campaigns or traffic monetization - Your account holds funds or is used for payments To reduce risks and protect your account, MGID strongly recommends enabling 2FA for all users. ### How to enable 2FA You can activate 2FA from your dashboard: - Locate the Settings under your profile - Go to the Security section - Enable the 2FA option ***Advertisers dashboard*** - [https://ads.mgid.com/](https://ads.mgid.com/) ![2fa content](https://help.mgid.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1.%20Help%20Center%20(website)/Fraud%20Protection/2FA/2fa%20content.png?width=670&height=375&name=2fa%20content.png) ***Publisher Development dashboard*** - [https://pub.mgid.com/](https://pub.mgid.com/) ![2fa content-1](https://help.mgid.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1.%20Help%20Center%20(website)/Fraud%20Protection/2FA/2fa%20content-1.png?width=670&height=375&name=2fa%20content-1.png) --- **Important** If you get a verification code without trying to log in, it may indicate an unauthorized access attempt. In this case: - Change your password immediately (use a strong, unique one) - Check the security of your email account - Do not share the code with anyone, even if they claim to be support - Contact MGID support if you notice anything suspicious   - [Advertisers](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Get started with MGID Ads](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#get-started-with-mgid-ads) - [Campaign Setup & Management](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#campaign-setup-management) - [CPA Tune](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#cpa-tune) - [Conversion tracking: general](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#conversion-tracking-general) - [Tracking with MGID Pixel](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#tracking-with-mgid-pixel) - [Postback & Trackers](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#postback-trackers) - [Affiliate Networks Integration](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#affiliate-networks-integration) - [Webhook tracking method & Integrations](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#webhook-tracking-method-integrations) - [Native integrations](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#native-integrations) - [Ad Creatives Management](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#ad-creatives-management) - [Campaign Optimization & Performance](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#campaign-optimization-performance) - [FAQ](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#faq) - [MGID Video Guides](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers?hsLang=en#mgid-video-guides) - [Publishers](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#general) - [Prohibited content and practices](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#prohibited-content-and-practices) - [Types of integration](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#types-of-integration) - [Compliance](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#compliance) - [Payment](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#payment) - [FAQ](https://help.mgid.com/publishers?hsLang=en#faq) - [Ad Quality Policies and Creative Guidelines](https://help.mgid.com/ad-quality-policies-and-creative-guidelines?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Ad Approval & Compliance Guidelines](https://help.mgid.com/ad-quality-policies-and-creative-guidelines?hsLang=en#ad-approval-compliance-guidelines) - [Creative AI Hub](https://help.mgid.com/ad-quality-policies-and-creative-guidelines?hsLang=en#creative-ai-hub) - [Creative Hub](https://help.mgid.com/ad-quality-policies-and-creative-guidelines?hsLang=en#creative-hub) - [Compliance & Security](https://help.mgid.com/ad-quality-policies-and-creative-guidelines?hsLang=en#compliance-security) - [Advertisers Super Client Account](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers-super-client-account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Clients](https://help.mgid.com/advertisers-super-client-account?hsLang=en#clients) - [Fraud Prevention](https://help.mgid.com/fraud-prevention?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Fraud Prevention](https://help.mgid.com/fraud-prevention?hsLang=en#fraud-prevention) - [API](https://help.mgid.com/api?hsLang=en) - [DSP](https://help.mgid.com/dsp?hsLang=en) - [SSP](https://help.mgid.com/ssp?hsLang=en) - [Advertisers](https://www.mgid.com/advertisers) - [Publishers](https://www.mgid.com/publishers) - [Contact Us](https://www.mgid.com/about#tabs-contactus) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.mgid.com/hubfs/MGID_Logo_Icon_HC.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.mgid.com) Native performance through innovation Copyright © 2026, MGID Inc.
