Step by step guide on how to set up your Hex Safe account

1. After successfully completing your onboarding, you will receive an email titled ‘Welcome to Hex Safe v2’. Click on the ‘Get started with Hex Safe’ button to begin setting up your account on Hex Safe. 

ℹ️ Your account will be fully usable once you have completed the set up process. You will have 72 hours from the time of the email to complete the process.

ℹ️ Please ensure you have a mobile device ready before you proceed.

 

2. On Hex Safe, you will be greeted with a welcome screen on your mobile/web browser. Click "Get started now" to proceed.

3. Upon clicking the "Get started now" button, you will be asked to create a password for your Hex Safe v2 account.

ℹ️ It's important to use a strong password that includes a mixture of alphanumeric characters (i.e. numbers, letters, and special characters). Your password must also be a minimum length of 8 characters.

 

4. Once you've set up your password, you will need to set up your Two-factor Authentication. To learn more about Two-factor Authentication and why it is mandatory for your account, please visit this article here.
