Managing Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) is an important security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. It requires two steps to log in: entering your password and a unique authentication code. In this article, we’ll guide you through enabling and disabling 2FA.

How to enable 2FA

1

Install and set up an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) on your mobile device.

2

Go to your dashboard → click on your profile picture in the top-right corner → select Account Settings from the dropdown:

Account Settings

Go to the Account & Security tab → click Enable next to the Two-Factor Authentication option:

Enable 2FA

3

Scan the QR code in your authenticator app if you're using Elfsight on desktop, or copy and paste the code if you're on mobile. Then click Continue:

Scan QR Code

4

Your authenticator app will generate a unique code. Enter it in the popup on Elfsight → click Complete:

Enter Code

All set! 🔐 Your account is now secured with Two-Factor Authentication:

2FA enabled

Do not uninstall the authenticator app you used to set up 2FA, as you'll need it to sign in to your Elfsight account in the future. Going forward, you'll sign in by entering your password (or using a social login like Google or Facebook), followed by the 2FA authentication code:
