Using two-factor authentication, you add an extra layer of security to your account. Learn how to set up two-factor authentication in this article.

Set up two-factor authentication

  1. In TriFact365 go to user icon in the blue menu bar and open Personal settings.

  2. Set Two-factor authentication to Yes.

  3. Scan the QR code that appears on your screen using an Authenticator app. We recommend using Google Authenticator (Android / iOS), but several apps are suitable.

  4. Enter the code displayed in the Authenticator app and click Next.

  5. Enter your phone number on the next screen. If you have previously entered this in your personal settings, it will be filled automatically. We use this phone number to restore two-factor authentication if necessary.

Two-factor authentication is now set up successfully.

After logging in with your email address and password, you need to perform an extra step.

  2. Enter the code you received and select Continue.

  3. You will now be prompted to reset two-factor authentication according to the steps previously mentioned.
