Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account, requiring you to enter a code sent via text message or generated via an authenticator app each time you log in. **We don't require users to set up 2FA but it is highly recommended!** ### Setting Up Two Factor Authentication To set up two-factor authentication (2FA), log into your admin portal and click on your initials in the top right corner of the page. Then, navigate to **Settings**. Select the **Two-factor authentication** option and follow the prompts to set up your cell phone to receive a text message, **OR** set up an authenticator app (such as [Authy](https://authy.com/) or [Google Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&hl=en_US&gl=US)) to generate a code. ![](https://support.verivest.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio8280868152de92878d815a0b419d1b9e7turn+on+2fa-3.gif) Please note that selecting "authenticator app" will require you to download a third-party authentication app on your mobile device. If you use SMS verification, we recommend disabling it before traveling internationally. ### Disabling Two Factor Authentication If you want to disable two-factor authentication after setting it up, simply click the toggle switch for **two-factor authentication**. ![](https://support.verivest.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio828088367c417f75115bc014c98143b7cScreenshot+2023-09-11+at+3.29.59+PM-3.png) You will receive a prompt asking you to confirm your choice. Select "**turn off**" if you wish to disable two-factor authentication. ![](https://support.verivest.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio828088005d4b46f3a95d0921a01857e41Screenshot+2023-09-11+at+3.30.27+PM-3.png) With two factor authentication off, you’ll be able to access your account by entering your email and password. ### **What if I lost or purchased a new phone and can no longer access my old device to authenticate my sign-on?** If you change your mobile number or need assistance with accessing your account, please reach out to our support team.
