Are there other alternatives?

To ensure the security of your account, Swissquote always requires two-factor authentication to verify your login and transactions.

We highly recommend Mobile Level 3 as your authentication method, as it is the fastest and most secure option.

If for some reason Mobile Level 3 is not an option for you, the Level 3 Card, which we send to your address by post, can be used as an alternative.
