To send gifts to other users, you must first enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account. This guide walks you through the complete process and answers common questions.

Your email address is verified and accessible.
You have installed an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy) on your mobile device.
đ What is 2FA?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring two forms of verification:
Email verification code
Time-based code from an authenticator app on your mobile device
Step 1: Install an Authenticator App

Youâll use this app to generate one-time codes later in the process.
Step 2: Access 2FA Settings on VPTOP
Press the "Next" button a QR code and a manual key will appear.
Scan the QR Code using your authenticator app or
Manually enter the key if scanning fails
Once added, your app will begin generating 6-digit codes every 30 seconds.
Step 3: Verify and Activate
Click Send Email Code â Check your inbox and enter the code in the provided field.
Open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit code.
â If both codes are correct, your 2FA setup will be completed and active.
