How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication on Your Account
Five minutes of setup blocks 99% of account-takeover attempts.
Introduction
Two-factor authentication (2FA) means even if someone steals your password, they can't log in without your phone. Always enable it.
What You'll Need
- A 2FA app, Authy, Google Authenticator, or 1Password
- Two minutes
Set Up 2FA
- 1Log in to the Client Area
- 2Click Account ā Security
- 3Find Two-Factor Authentication and click Enable
- 4Scan the QR code with your authenticator app
- 5Enter the 6-digit code the app shows
- 6Click Verify & Enable
- 7Save the backup codes somewhere safe, these unlock your account if you lose your phone
Next login asks for your password + a fresh 6-digit code.
Where to Save Backup Codes
- Print and store in a drawer
- Password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password)
- Not in your email, that's the first thing an attacker checks
If You Lose Your Phone
- 1Use a backup code to log in
- 2Go to Security ā Disable 2FA
- 3Set it up again on the new device
If You Lose Both Phone and Codes
- Open a recovery ticket
- Be prepared to verify your identity with the email on file and a recent invoice number
Warning: We cannot disable 2FA without identity verification. This is intentional, it protects you from social-engineering attacks.
