Setting Up 2FA
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a critical layer of security to your account. Even if someone obtains your password, they won't be able to sign in without the second factor.
Prerequisites
- An authenticator app installed on your phone (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password).
- Access to your Boottify account settings.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Navigate to Settings → Security in the control center.
- Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
- A QR code will appear on screen. Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code.
- Your authenticator app will display a 6-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds.
- Enter the current 6-digit code in the verification field and click Verify.
Backup Codes
After enabling 2FA, you will receive 10 backup codes. These are one-time-use codes that let you access your account if you lose your authenticator device.
- Download or copy these codes immediately.
- Store them in a secure location (password manager, printed copy in a safe).
- Each backup code can only be used once.
- You can regenerate backup codes from the security settings if needed.
Signing In with 2FA
After enabling 2FA, the sign-in flow changes:
- Enter your email and password as usual.
- You'll be redirected to a verification page.
- Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
- Click Verify to complete sign-in.
Disabling 2FA
To disable 2FA, go to Settings → Security and click Disable 2FA. You will need to confirm with your current authenticator code or a backup code.
