Setting up 2FA on your dashboard.

Improving security on your dashboard

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!
