Pi Network (PI) is making major strides in security and platform utility following its successful open mainnet launch last month. After introducing .pi domains on Pi Day, the network has now rolled out Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)—a vital security feature to protect user assets and ensure a smooth migration to Mainnet

🔥 Pi Network Rolls Out Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

📢 As of March 13, 2025, Pi Network requires certain Pioneers to complete 2FA before their Pi tokens can migrate to the Mainnet blockchain. This added security layer verifies Pi Wallet ownership via a trusted email address, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring account protection.

How to Secure Your Pi Network Account with 2FA

🔹 Step 1: Set Up a Trusted Email 📩

✅ If you haven’t already, add a trusted email address via the Pi mining app.

✅ A liveness check will verify that you are the account owner.

✅ Only KYC-verified Pioneers (including those with tentative KYC) can set up a trusted email.

🔹 Step 2: Confirm Your Migration Wallet 🔄

✅ Once a trusted email is added, you will receive a prompt in the app or an email notification to complete 2FA.

✅ Alternatively, confirm your wallet migration via the Mainnet Checklist in the app.

🔹 Step 3: Verify via Email 📧

✅ In the 2FA interface, confirm access to your migration wallet (or create a new one if needed).

✅ A final confirmation email will be sent—follow the instructions to secure your account.

⚠️ Security Notice: You will only receive official emails from "[email protected]." Avoid phishing scams by ignoring emails from other addresses!

🚨 What Happens If You Don’t Complete 2FA?

❌ Pi Will Be Returned: If you don’t complete 2FA within the 14-day pending period, your Pi will return to your mining app instead of migrating.

🔄 How Pi Returns Work:

If 2FA is not completed, migrated Pi will be sent back to the Unverified Balance, not the Transferable Balance.

Your total Pi remains unchanged—you’ll just need to reinitiate migration after completing 2FA.

Once 2FA is successfully completed, Pi will migrate without further delays.

🛡️ Why Pi Network Enforces a 14-Day Pending Period

Pi Network’s 14-day pending period acts as an additional security measure, ensuring transactions are verified before becoming irreversible on the Mainnet. This protects users from potential unauthorized access or accidental transfers.

✅ Final Thoughts

The introduction of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a major step toward enhancing Pi Network’s security and protecting Pioneer assets. With Mainnet migration in full swing, all Pioneers are urged to add a trusted email and complete 2FA as soon as they receive the prompt to avoid delays.

⚡ Stay secure, complete 2FA, and ensure a smooth transition to Mainnet!
