Authentication for two apps

If you use both the CapTrader CapTrader Trading App as well as the CapTrader Easy App on an end device, one of the two apps must be configured as an authentication device. This is usually the trading app.
We have therefore compiled instructions on this page on how to use the Trading App as an authentication device for the Easy App.

In advance: Installing the apps on your smartphone

If you have not already done so, download the desired CapTrader apps from the Google Playstore or the Apple App Store free of charge. You will find the links by clicking on the respective button:

Step 2: Two-factor authentication

Step 3: Security code query

Now note or memorize the six-digit security code (example: 123 456) so you can enter it into the CapTrader Trading App.
