#Pi roll out 2FA Authentication #PART 1

After a successful debut with its open mainnet last month, Pi Network (PI) is actively expanding its platform’s utility. On Pi Day, the network introduced .pi domains, allowing users to bid for unique .pi domain names using Pi tokens. Now, in a further step toward securing user assets, Pi Network has rolled out an important security update—Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)—to enhance account protection and ensure smooth migration to the Mainnet.

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

On March 13, Pi Network introduced a two-factor authentication (2FA) feature that requires some Pioneers to complete 2FA before their Pi tokens are successfully migrated to the Mainnet blockchain. This additional security layer confirms ownership of Pi Wallets by verifying a trusted email address, further securing Pioneers’ accounts and their Pi holdings.

How to Secure Your Pi Network Account with 2FA

Some Pioneers may already have a trusted email address linked to their account, which allows them to complete the 2FA process and confirm their migration wallet. Others, however, may need to set up a trusted email before proceeding.

Steps to Set Up 2FA on Pi Network:

Set Up a Trusted Email

If you haven’t already, you must provide a trusted email address by completing a liveness check to verify that you are the account owner.

You will receive a prompt in the Pi mining app to complete this step.

Only KYC-verified Pioneers (including those with tentative KYC) are eligible to add a trusted email at this time.

Confirm Your Migration Wallet

Once a trusted email is added, Pioneers will gradually receive prompts after mining sessions or via email notifications to complete 2FA.

Alternatively, Pioneers can confirm their wallet migration via the Mainnet Checklist in the app.

Verify via Email

In the 2FA interface, Pioneers must confirm access to their migration wallet (or create a new one if necessary).
