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:
- Something you know (card info, login)
- 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
- Go to: www.giftcardmall.com/mygift
- Click “Register Card” or “Log In” if already registered
- After logging in, go to Account Settings
- Enable:
- Email or SMS notifications for transactions
- Login verification for new devices
- Optional PIN (if available)
📩 You’ll receive a one-time code via email or phone for future logins
🛡 Why Enable 2FA?
Reason | Benefit |

📵 What 2FA Can’t Do
