Two Factor Authentication (2FA) refers to having a second method of authenticating your identity before being able to access your account. The first layer of authentication is always your account’s password. As the second layer of protection, Privatlocker only supports App Authentication as it is the most secure form of access.
To set up app authentication, you’ll need an authenticator app downloaded on a mobile device. In your Account / Settings / 2FA you will be guided to follow the necessary steps.
Once you have an app downloaded and set up, click on the option to set up 2FA with an app and you’ll be presented with a QR code (and a text-based code).
Using your authenticator app, select the option to add a new one, and then scan the QR code (if you’re unable to scan the QR code, you can manually enter the text-based code). You’ll then see a code for your Privatlocker account’s email. Enter that code and click submit. All done!
You’ll then see the Two Factor Authentication is activated, indicating that your 2FA is active.
