Verify it’s you

When you log in to or update information for your child’s Trump Account, you’ll need to verify it’s really you. Two-factor authentication (2FA) helps protect the account by requiring 2 sources of verification to sign in: something you know (your password) and something you have. Every time you log in or make changes to the account, you’ll get a request for another form of verification in addition to your password, such as:

  • Device approval request
  • SMS one-time-code
  • Bank verification
  • A three-point selfie
  • A photo of the front and back of a valid government ID

We do this to make sure that a login attempt is from a device that you have access to, and not from an attacker. And for account updates, to make sure it's you who authorized them.

FAQ

What is a device approval?

Device approvals add an extra layer of security to your child’s account.

Why do I have to submit a selfie?

We use your selfie as a secure baseline to help confirm it’s really you—especially if we detect suspicious activity. It strengthens account protection, helps prevent fraud, and makes it easier to recover access if you're ever locked out. Submitting a selfie is quick, secure, and helps us protect the account using our internal verification tools.

Is my biometric data safe?

Yes, only if you choose to use biometric data to log in. Your biometric data is securely stored and used only to protect the account. We retain it in accordance with financial regulations and our Privacy Statement.

Can I delete my biometric data?

While you can’t delete it yourself, we never sell your data and only use it for identity verification when needed.

If you're asked to submit an SMS, but can't receive it

You can change your phone number directly from the app. If you’re trying to log in and can’t receive the SMS code, select Get help. You’ll be given an option to resend the SMS code, or verify using a different method.

After you change the phone number, we'll ask you to verify your identity to ensure your child’s account security before you can log in again.

If you're asked to submit a three-point selfie, but running into an error

Make sure you’re in an evenly lit room and remove any glasses or face coverings.

If you’re asked to submit an ID, but running into an error
  • Make sure you have the right ID type that you specified in the flow
  • You’re in an evenly lit room and your photo ID doesn’t have a glare
  • If you’re on a web device, retry with a mobile device
If you’re asked to submit a code sent to the email, but can’t receive it

You can change the account’s email with us as long as you have access to the phone number associated with the account. You can view the email address associated with the account in Settings, and update it, if necessary.

If you’re trying to log in and forget the email, you can select Get help on the login page, then select I forgot my email.
