The 2FA adds an extra level of security to your account. Here's how to activate it. Authentication takes just a few minutes. All you need is a smartphone or password manager to set it up.
Double authentication on Finary is done via a third-party application, such as Google Authenticator. This application will then provide you with the temporary code to enter each time you log on. You will not receive an SMS on your phone.
💡 Good to know: 2FA can be activated both on the mobile app or on the web version of Finary. Go to your Settings to set it up.
Setup 2FA (on Web)
Setting up 2FA is easy, all you need is your smartphone or a password manager.
Head over to your Settings
Click on My Account (top left) -> Security -> 2-tap authentication
Scan the QR code with your 2FA application
Enter the code displayed on your 2FA application and click on "Activate".
You'll see 20 single-use recovery codes. They will allow you to connect to your account even if your smartphone is lost. Confirm that they have been copied to a safe place.
⚠️ These codes will only be displayed once. Finary does not have access to these codes and will not be able to provide them to you if your smartphone is lost.
Congratulations, your account is now protected!
You will be asked for a 2FA code the next time you log in.
