<p>Coinone, one of South Korea’s leading crypto exchanges, <a href="https://view.asiae.co.kr/article/2023082308092108370" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> on Wednesday that it has added Naver as another channel for two-factor authentication (2FA) when signing up for an account. This move aims to enhance security and convenience for users by introducing another option for the second step of authentication in addition to KakaoTalk and one-time password (OTP) authentication.</p><h2 id="header-0">Combatting social engineering attacks</h2><p>“As the popularity of investing in virtual assets is on the rise, attempts to gain unauthorized access to accounts through smishing and phishing have also increased. We hope that users can use Coinone services in a safer, more convenient manner by using Naver as an easy authentication channel,” said Cha Myunghun, CEO of Coinone.</p><p>All users are required to go through 2FA when signing up for a Coinone account in order to simultaneously protect their credentials and conduct deposits, withdrawals, and transactions. Users must verify themselves with their phone number first, then once more through an additional channel like KakaoTalk, Naver, or OTP authentication.</p><p>Using KakaoTalk or Naver is easy and convenient since most Koreans already have both of these apps on their phones, and it takes a relatively short amount of time to complete.</p><h2 id="header-1">Extra benefits</h2><p>Users can register for Naver authentication on both the Coinone website and the app. Once they do, they can verify themselves through the Naver app without a separate login. These users can be granted more benefits such as increased withdrawal limits, the exchange said. Those who have verified their bank accounts for storing Korean won can have a withdrawal limit of up to 500 million won (approximately $373,000).</p>
