      • Initiate Staking
      • Enable/Disable Wallet Whitelisting
      • Add/Remove addresses from a Whitelist
      • Create a new address in the Address Book

      To set up your Google 2FA please follow the steps below:
      1.  Download the “Google Authenticator” App:
      2. On your device, go to your Google Account.
      3. At the top, in the navigation panel, tap Security.
      4. Under "Signing in to Google," tap 2-Step Verification. You might need to sign in.
      5. In the "Add more second steps to verify it’s you" section, under "Authenticator app", tap Set up.
      6. Follow the on-screen steps.
      During the first time user onboarding, you will receive an email which links to onboarding screens in Hex Safe. There you would need to create a password, and then set up the Google 2FA which can be done through scanning a QR code with the Google Authenticator App. Then the current 2FA code needs to be put in to confirm the set up.
