Securing your Stake account: password, 2FA and phishing

The best protection for a Stake account is a unique password plus two-factor authentication from an authenticator app, set in Settings, then Security. 2FA protects logins, withdrawals, tips and sends. Add a passkey, learn Stake's real email addresses, and never share codes with anyone. This page shows how. 18+.

Unique password

Reuse a password from another site and one leak there exposes your Stake balance. A password manager makes unique passwords easy.

Turn on 2FA

  1. Install an authenticator app.
  2. In Stake, open Settings, then Security.
  3. Start 2FA and scan the QR code, or enter the setup key.
  4. Enter the six-digit code. It changes every 30 seconds.
  5. Confirm the email link Stake sends.

Never share the QR code or setup key. If you lose the device, email recovery@stake.com from your account's address.

Passkeys

A passkey is tied to your device and the real domain, so it can't be typed into a fake site.

Real Stake emails

If a "Stake" email comes from any other domain, don't click its links. Report it to support.

Phishing

Fake sites copy Stake's look and push you to "verify" or "claim" something. Go to stake.com yourself. Never share your password, 2FA codes or a wallet seed phrase with anyone, even someone claiming to be support or a VIP host. If you're locked out, see login problems.
