Odin has introduced new security measures for users of its platform, adding two-factor authentication (2FA), passkey support and account locking options designed to provide greater protection for withdrawals, transfers and other sensitive actions.
The update allows users to enable an authenticator app using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). Once activated, users will need to enter a verification code from apps such as Google Authenticator or Authy before completing withdrawals and transfers.
Odin has also added passkey support, allowing users to approve sensitive actions through device-based security features such as Face ID, fingerprint authentication or hardware security keys. The feature removes the need to manually enter authentication codes while providing an alternative recovery option if a user loses access to their authenticator app.
Another feature introduced in the update is account locking, which gives users the ability to place their account into a protected mode. While an account is locked, actions including withdrawals, transfers, buying and selling require additional verification through 2FA before they can proceed.
The company said the security improvements follow previous challenges faced by the platform and are aimed at giving users greater control over protecting their accounts.
“Security isn’t a feature we added because it looked good on a roadmap. It’s something we owe every person who stayed,” Odin said in its announcement.
Users can enable the new security options through the platform’s settings by navigating to Settings, Security and Two-Factor Authentication. Odin recommends users activate both an authenticator app and passkey protection for additional account security.
