Two Factor Authentication for Omega Market

Enable security measures the moment your account registers. The interface prompts you to choose an anti phishing phrase during signup. Select something random but memorable to you, like a favorite color or a city name. When you log in, the browser shows this phrase next to the username field. If the phrase says Blue but your screen displays Red, someone else controls the connection.

Choosing Your Second Factor

You have two options for the second layer: Time based One Time Passwords (TOTP) or a PGP challenge. TOTP uses an app like Authy or Google Authenticator to generate a six digit code every thirty seconds. It works on any device. The PGP option requires you to sign a random string generated by the server. You verify the signature with your private key. Choose PGP if you already manage keys strictly. Choose TOTP if you want speed.

The Cost of Losing Access

If you lose your phone and delete the TOTP app, the login blocks. You cannot simply reset it. The platform relies on cryptographic proof, not memory. Before enabling 2FA, the dashboard lists ten backup codes. Print them. Do not save them in your password manager. Write them on paper and hide them in a safe place. Use one code per recovery attempt. Once used, it expires forever.

Recovery Process

To recover, enter your passphrase, input the correct anti phishing phrase to prove authenticity, and provide a valid backup code or signed PGP message. Support staff cannot bypass this. They verify the math, not your identity story. If all backup codes are exhausted and the seed is lost, the funds remain locked in the account. Plan your storage before you need it. A dead phone means zero access until you find that piece of paper.
