Firstock Login - Second Factor Authentication(2FA)

In light of Regulatory guidelines and to further enhance your account’s security Firstock has introduced a new second-factor authentication for login.

In addition to user ID, you can preferably use biometric authentication as one of the authentication factors, along with any one of the below-mentioned factors:

  1. Knowledge factor (something only the user knows): - Password
  2. Possession factor (something only the user has): - e.g., OTP, security token, authenticator apps on smartphones, etc.

Keep in mind

In cases where biometric authentication is not possible, you can use both the aforementioned factors (Knowledge factor and Possession factor), in addition to the user ID, for 2-factor authentication (2FA).

This feature is now available across all the platforms (Web, Mobile, Desktop, and API)

The new Firstock Trading App is now available on Windows, PlayStore, and IOS. Download right away!
