Two-factor authentication is a fantastic way to secure your clientarea as it makes you login using your traditional password (something you know) and a token generated from a device such as your smartphone (something you have). This means that even if someone knows your password, your account is still secured as he would need to generate a token from your smartphone.

Find below the steps to activate two-factor authentication on your clientarea.

  • Download for free the Google Authenticator for iOS and Android. If you use any other platform, you may search within your app store for an authenticator on your smartphone.
  • Login to your clientarea with the correct details.
  • Click on human avatar at the top right of your screen. Click on the Security Settings sub-menu to open the page.

  • Select the Time Based Tokens service.

  • Scan the QR code with an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile.
  • Enter in the 6-digit code that the authenticator app generates.
  • Click on the Submit button.
  • Record the Backup Code in a safe place.
  • Click the Close button.

You can return to this page to disable two-factor authentication at any time.
