Share Qtrade 2FA with your team — without screenshots.

Most teams sharing Qtrade access do it badly: a screenshot in Slack, a personal phone in someone's drawer, a 1Password note that drifts out of date. Here's the right way.

The setup

Three minutes from sign-up to first Qtrade code.

  1. 01Sign up for Kaito. Free 14-day trial, no credit card. You'll set up MFA on your own account before adding any tokens.
  2. 02Add the Qtrade 2FA seed. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and either scan the Qtrade 2FA QR code or paste the secret. Kaito auto-resolves the Qtrade icon.
  3. 03Choose who can see the code. Create a group (e.g. qtrade-admins), add the relevant teammates, and grant the group code-only permission on the token.
  4. 04Provision a Kaito SMS number. Since Qtrade only supports SMS 2FA, point your account's phone-on-file at a Kaito-provisioned number. Inbound codes stream in real time to everyone in the group.
  5. 05Generate the first code. Anyone in the group opens the token in Kaito and sees the current 6-digit code with a 30-second countdown ring. The view is logged immediately to the audit log.
Why this is better

The Qtrade screenshot in Slack vs. Kaito.

Screenshot in Slack
  • • Searchable by everyone in the workspace
  • • Replicated to every device anyone has logged Slack in on
  • • Stays in DM history when teammates leave
  • • No record of who used it when
  • • Encodes the seed itself, valid forever
Qtrade via Kaito
  • • Seed encrypted at rest, never sent to clients
  • • Group-permissioned: only authorized teammates see the code
  • • Auto-revoked when someone leaves the group
  • • Every code view logged with user, IP, time
  • • One-click rotation when needed
Compliance

Sharing tolerated for Qtrade

Qtrade's terms on account sharing are unclear or grey-area. Many teams share access in practice; doing so via Kaito gives you a clean audit trail if it ever becomes a question.

Stop pasting Qtrade codes in Slack.
