Since the physical Skrill Security Token has been discontinued, you can now protect your funds using the modern Skrill Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
This system elevates your Skrill account to the highest security level by requiring a unique, one-time-use code in addition to your email and password. While the old hardware token was often costly for non-VIP members, this 2FA method is **completely free** and works seamlessly with the Google Authenticator app on any mobile device.

Below, you will find detailed information on how to set up Skrill Two-Factor Authentication and maximize your account’s safety.
About the Skrill Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication, also known as 2FA, is an extra layer of security that is known as “multi-factor authentication” that requires not only a password and username but also something that only that user has on them – such as a physical token.
The new Skrill security tool is working with the free app Google Authenticator. Once it is set up, Skrill customers do not have to use their physical security token anymore but will enter a changing 6-digit code generated with the Google Authenticator app.
In the rare case that you still have activated the older Skrill Security Token, please make sure to deactivate it in your account settings and add the Two-Step Authentication to your account, which you will in your account settings after deactivating the token.
Setup Skrill Two-Factor Authentication
STEP 1
Install the Google Authenticator app from the Apple app store or Google Play Store and scan the QR bar-code displayed to you on the setup screen:
STEP 2
Inside the setup window, enter the code displayed by the Google Authenticator app and click the ‘Verify and save‘ button to navigate to the success screen:
100% Money-back guarantee still available?
In the earlier days, Skrill introduced the guarantee of the safety of your online funds by offering a “100% Money-Back Guarantee.” Once you did set up the security token to protect your account, this guarantee took place and gave you an even higher level of security. However, since the token was removed and the two step authentication introduced, this guarantee is no longer part of their T&C.
Using the Skrill Two-Factor Authentication is a massive step to increase your account security. It will also increase the chance of a refund in case you suffer a financial loss as a direct result of unauthorized access to your account, but they do not guarantee it. It will be decided on a case-by-case basis after investigating the incident.
Therefore, we still highly recommend to all clients to use this additional security feature to keep your funds as safe as possible.
