Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – Your Digital Safety Vault

In today’s world, passwords are like the keys to your house. But what if someone makes a copy of that key? That’s where Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) steps in — it’s like adding a smart lock with a secret code.


With 2FA, logging into your account isn’t just about knowing the password — you also need a unique verification code sent directly to you (via email or phone).


Even if your password is compromised, no one gets in without that second code.


Enabling 2FA – Setting Up Your Digital Guardian

  1. Head to Security Settings

    • Go to My Account → Navigate to the Security section.

  2. Activate 2FA

    • Click the Enable 2FA button.

    • A confirmation popup appears asking:
      “Do you want to enable Two-Factor Authentication?”

  3. Confirm Your Choice

    • Click Yes to proceed.

  4. Instant Protection

    • From now on, every time you log in, the system will not only ask for your password but also trigger the 2FA Verification Page.

    • This means your account is double-shielded.

Pro Tip: Use an active and accessible email/phone number, as this will be your go-to channel for receiving OTPs.

Verifying 2FA – Logging in with Two Locks

When you log in after enabling 2FA, here’s what happens:

  1. Choose Verification Method

    • Select your OTP method (e.g., Email). 

  2. Receive OTP (One-Time Password)

    • Instantly check your inbox (or SMS) for the unique verification code.

  3. Verify & Unlock

    • Enter the OTP into the verification field and hit Verify. 

    • Once verified, your dashboard opens safely.

This process takes seconds but multiplies your security tenfold.

Disabling 2FA – When You No Longer Need It

  1. Navigate to Security Settings

    • Go to My AccountSecurity section.
       

  2. Click Disable 2FA

    • Hit the Disable 2FA button.

  3. Confirm Action

    • A warning popup appears:
      “Are you sure you want to disable Two-Factor Authentication?”

    • Click Yes to proceed.

  4. Return to Basic Login

    • From now on, you’ll only need your username + password to sign in.

      Important Note: Disabling 2FA lowers your protection. Keep it enabled unless absolutely necessary.
