What is Two-Factor Authentication?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security system that requires two separate, distinct forms of identification in order to access something. This method adds an extra security layer to your account.

How does this work in Smart.pr?

You can set up 2FA by clicking on "Enable" in the user settings menu under the heading Two-Factor Authentication. This is followed by a wizard where you first enter your phone number. A QR code is then generated that you can scan with a mobile authenticator app. You can choose which app you use. Recommended apps are "Google authenticator", "Microsoft authenticator" or "Authy".

Pay attention: When entering your phone number, leave out the 0: 612345678.

After scanning the code you will see a 6-digit authentication code in your mobile application. Enter this code in Smart.pr and click "Verify". 2-factor authentication is now enabled for your account.

Every time you log in, you will be asked for an authentication code. This code is generated by your mobile application and is refreshed regularly. You do not have to scan the QR code again.

Enforce 2FA

Account owners can enforce two-factor authentication for all team members. To do this, go to the manage team menu and click on enforce two-factor authentication. When the option is enabled, all team members are required to use 2FA to sign in.
