To setup 2FA for your Nexon account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Log in to your Nexon account using your email address.

From the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) promo window, under "Enable Authenticator App", click "Enable".
From the Account Settings page, select "Password & Security". Under Security, find Authenticator App, and then click "Enable".
To confirm your identity, a verification code is sent to either your email address or mobile phone. Enter the verification code. The Enable Authenticator window is displayed.
A QR code containing the secret key is displayed. Next, you need to use our Authenticator App to scan this QR code. Please keep this popup open to complete the setup.
