Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification layer on top of your password. Even if your password is compromised, your account can't be accessed without the second factor.
2FA Methods
- Authenticator app (TOTP): A 6-digit code produced by apps like Google Authenticator or Authy. The most secure option.
- Email code: A one-time code sent to your email at login.
Setting Up App-Based 2FA
1
Start 2FA setup
Start 2FA setup from Settings β Security in the panel. You're shown a QR code.
2
Scan the QR code
Scan the QR code with your authenticator app. The app starts producing 6-digit codes for your account.
3
Verify the code
Confirm setup by entering the current code shown by the app.
4
Save your backup codes
When setup completes, you receive backup recovery codes. Save them somewhere safe.
Don't lose your backup codes
If you lose access to your phone (lost/reset), backup recovery codes are the way into your account. Store them somewhere safe, separate from your password. Each backup code can be used only once.
Email-Based 2FA
If you don't want to use an authenticator app, you can enable email-based 2FA. In this mode, a one-time code is sent to your email at every login.
Disabling 2FA
You can disable 2FA anytime from Settings β Security. For security, the disable action also requires verification.
Make it mandatory for teams
For accounts accessed by multiple people, encourage all team members to use 2FA. A single weak link can put the whole account at risk.
