Fintech security session

For this concept, I set out to design a simple, reassuring, and highly intuitive Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) setup experience. Security features often feel intimidating to users, so the goal was to make the flow friendly, clear, and effortless.

Many users underestimate the importance of 2FA until they experience a security breach. Traditional 2FA onboarding screens can feel technical and overwhelming, reducing adoption rates.

I created a guided 2FA activation flow that focuses on clarity, trust-building, and user motivation. The experience is broken down into two main screens

This screen highlights the benefits of enabling 2FA using reassuring language and visual cues. Key design decisions:

🛡️ Hero security illustration to grab attention

✔️ Clear, benefit-driven bullet points

🔵 A high-contrast CTA: “Proceed to set up 2FA”

⏰ A soft secondary option: “Remind me later”

The goal is to reduce fear and motivate users to take action by reinforcing the value of added security.

Once users begin setup, they’re presented with a clean and minimal methods list.

Design considerations:

📱 Authenticator App is marked as “Recommended” to guide user decision-making

➡️ Simple navigation using right-arrow indicators

✨ Plenty of white space to maintain focus and reduce cognitive load

The layout ensures clarity and keeps the process frictionless.

The result is a simple, confidence-boosting 2FA setup experience designed to increase adoption while keeping the user fully informed and comfortable.
