How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for MyGift Cards

Want to make your GiftCardMall MyGift card more secure online?

This guide explains how to enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication), secure your account, and prevent fraud or unauthorized use — especially for online purchases.


🔐 What Is 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra security layer:

  1. Something you know (card info, login)
  2. Something you have (phone/email code)

Even if someone steals your card details, they can’t use the card online without your code.


✅ Can You Enable 2FA on MyGift?

Yes — but here’s the catch:

Only registered MyGift cards with an online account can enable security options like 2FA or transaction alerts.


📝 How to Register & Enable Security Features

  1. Go to: www.giftcardmall.com/mygift
  2. Click “Register Card” or “Log In” if already registered
  3. After logging in, go to Account Settings
  4. Enable:
  • Email or SMS notifications for transactions
  • Login verification for new devices

📩 You’ll receive a one-time code via email or phone for future logins
