Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Why Use 2FA?

Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your account, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to gain access even if your password is compromised.

Supported 2FA Methods

• Authenticator App (recommended) — Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator
• SMS — One-time codes sent to your registered mobile number
• Email OTP — One-time codes sent to your email address

Enabling 2FA via Authenticator App

1. Log in to your account and go to Settings → Security.
2. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
3. Select Authenticator App and click Continue.
4. Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code displayed on screen.
5. Enter the 6-digit code from your app to confirm setup.
6. Save your backup codes in a safe place — these can be used if you lose access to your device.

Logging In With 2FA

After enabling 2FA, each login will require you to:

1. Enter your username and password as usual.
2. Open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit code when prompted.

Codes refresh every 30 seconds, so enter it promptly after viewing it.
