How do I add two-factor authentication (2FA) to my account?

Why 2FA?

All our paid plans allow you to add a second authentication step on another device to protect your account. Two-factor authentication is available for your Starter, Premium or White Label plan as well as for all sub accounts attached to your main account.

We are aware that preventing an unauthorized access to your account is critical and this is one of the most important features in terms of security.

We encourage all our users to add this second layer of protection, not only on our service, but also in all your critical accounts like E-Mail, social media and other SaaS solutions.

How do I activate the 2FA in my account?

1. Download the Google Authenticator app from Google Play or App Store scanning the QR Code below

For this purpose, we recommend using Google Authenticator to manage and store your 2FA accounts. You can use any other 2FA App like Microsoft Authenticator or TOTP. In our opinion, Google Authenticator provides a perfect solution, user experience and helps you to take care of your backups easily.

8. Copy or print your one-time recovery codes and keep them in a safe place.

In case you do not have access to your phone, you lost it, or you just want to give temporary access to someone these codes will be very helpful.

What if I lose my smartphone?

You can use the one-time recovery codes to access your account and authorize your device again if you have written them down and saved them in a safe place (step 7).

We really recommend you keep strict control on your two-factor authentication information for all your services. It requires some extra work on your end, but you are adding a very powerful layer of protection.
