In today’s interconnected world, online privacy and security are crucial. That’s why on the VeeFriends website, you can confidently sign in using just your username and password without having to connect your wallet every time. This eliminates potential vulnerabilities and ensures your valuable NFTs stay safe and secure.

To provide additional security, VeeFriends Tech has implemented multifactor authentication (MFA) to the VeeFriends website. MFA will significantly increase security and minimize the risk of unauthorized access.

Implementing MFA is designed to be a one-time setup process for our users. Once configured, users only need to rely on the app to obtain their unique and time-sensitive one-time code, ensuring secure access to their VeeFriends accounts.

While we encourage the use of MFA for best security practices, to optimize the user experience, MFA is optional for VeeFriends accounts and can be toggled on or off at any time through your profile’s settings.

Social Login Integration

Existing and new users who register on VeeFriends using their social media accounts do not need to take any further action. Social logins come with their own integrated Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) system, providing additional security for these users. By leveraging the existing security measures employed by popular social media platforms, we ensure that users who chose this registration method can enjoy a seamless and secure experience without any changes or additional steps.

Email Login Integration and MFA Setup

Existing and new users who register on VeeFriends using their email will need to go through the necessary one-time setup process. You will be prompted to use MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) every time you log in.

Please note: If you already have set up a VeeFriends account, you will begin at Step 5!
