# MetaTrader 5 web platform update: Two-factor authentication and password change

## Following numerous client requests, we have improved protection of accounts against unauthorized access in the MetaTrader 5 web platform

2 December 2016

Following numerous client requests, we have improved protection of accounts against unauthorized access in the [MetaTrader 5 web platform](https://web.metatrader.app/terminal?utm_source=www.metatrader5.com&utm_campaign=EN+News+About+OTP+MetaTrader5+Web). The enhanced protection includes the two-factor authentication using one-time passwords and the ability to change master and investor passwords.

In order to enable the two-factor authentication, launch the MetaTrader 5 mobile application. Log in and choose the OTP generator option in the Settings window. The One-time password (OTP) generator can bind all your trading accounts and automatically generate a unique one-time six-digit password for each account. Enter the generated password when logging in to the web platform. Congratulations! Your trade account is now secured.
