What is Two-Factor Authentication?

Two-factor authentication is a security process that means that in addition to entering your password, you will also need to provide a second form of identification to verify your identity.

On your mono dashboard, you have the option to pick email or use an authentication app.

To enable 2FA:

  1. Log in to your dashboard, and click on more on your sidebar.
    ​

  2. Navigate to settings.
    ​


    ​

  3. Click on Two-factor authentication.
    ​

  4. Select the method you'd like to use for your authentication; email address or authentication app.

If you pick email, you'll get an OTP sent to your email, then you'll be prompted to enter this code and your password to confirm this authentication method.

If you select the authentication app, say for example, you decide to use the Authy app.

Click on the three dots at the top right of the app and choose Add Account.

Click Scan QR Code and scan the QR Code shown to you on the Dashboard.

If for any reason, you're unable to scan the barcode, click "Enter Code Manually" on the Authy app, and enter the text code shown to you on the Dashboard on Authy.

Save your Mono profile on the Authy app and a six-digit Time-based One-Time Password (OTP) will be shown to you.

Enter the OTP in the input space provided on your Dashboard and click Enable.

That's all you need to set up 2FA!
