For some time now, there has been a chorus of appeals for Betfair to beef-up their security measures.<\/p>\n
If you visit the forum there have been lots of\u00a0anecdotal stories<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in the past regarding unauthorised access to Betfair accounts. Even though IP addresses and locations can be traced, actually getting anyone to do anything about a hacked account was and remains difficult.\u00a0Things took a big twist when it was revealed Betfair had suffer a security breach and failed to tell customers<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was clear that the state of the security measures, on accounts that can literally hold tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds, was unacceptable.<\/p>\n Therefore we are overjoyed and give them credit for finally doing something about it.<\/p>\n Betfair have recently implemented two step authentication as an additional security measure. Bet Angel is fully compatible with this new process. We worked with Betfair before launch to make Bet Angel as secure as possible and compatible with this new feature. But you must be using the very latest version of Bet Angel to benefit from this added security feature.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n The idea is that even if someone managed to get hold of your username and password, they would not be able to get the extra code needed from your personal phone.<\/p>\n See here for a video:<\/p>\nTwo-Step Authentication<\/h2>\n
