Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second verification step when logging in.

Enabling 2FA

1. Click your profile avatar in the header and select Profile Settings (or navigate to Settings > Profile).
2. Find the Two-Factor Authentication section.
3. Click Enable 2FA.
4. A 6-digit code will be sent to you via text message.
5. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app to verify.
6. 2FA is now enabled. You will be prompted for a code each time you log in.

Recovery Codes

After enabling 2FA, you receive a set of recovery codes. Store these in a safe place. If you lose access to your authenticator app, use a recovery code to log in.

• Each recovery code can only be used once.
• Generate new recovery codes from the 2FA settings if you run out or suspect they have been compromised.

Disabling 2FA

To disable 2FA, go to your profile settings and click Disable 2FA. You will need to enter your current password to confirm.

Google OAuth Login

As an alternative to password-based login, you can link your Google account:

1. Go to your profile settings.
2. Click Link Google Account.
3. Sign in with your Google account in the popup.
4. Your Google account is now linked. You can use Sign in with Google on the login page.

You can unlink your Google account at any time from the profile settings.
