Introduction

Ready to boost your account security? Two-factor authentication (2FA) is like adding a super-secure deadbolt to your front door - except this one's for your RecordsKeeper.AI account. Let's walk through the setup process together - it's easier than you might think!

Why Enable 2FA?

Before we dive in, here's why this matters: 2FA adds an extra security layer that requires both your password and a verification code to access your account. Even if someone somehow gets your password, they still can't get into your account without that second factor. Pretty neat, right?

Setting Up 2FA: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Verification Method

  1. Navigate to User Settings > Security

  2. Look for the "Two-factor authentication" section
    ​


    ​

  3. Click "Turn on 2FA"

  4. Choose between two options:

    • Authenticator App (Recommended): Using Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar apps

    • SMS Verification: Receive codes via text message
      ​


Step 2: Set Up Your Chosen Method

If using an Authenticator App:

  1. Open your authenticator app

  2. Scan the QR code shown on your screen

  3. alternatively, you can enter the 4-digit code displayed in your app

  4. Verify and proceed

If using SMS:

  1. Enter your phone number

  2. Receive and enter the verification code

  3. Confirm and proceed

Step 3: Save Your Backup Codes

This is crucial! You'll receive a set of backup codes - think of these as your spare keys:

  1. Download or print your backup codes

  2. Store them in a secure location

  3. You'll need these if you ever lose access to your authentication device

  4. Each code can only be used once

Step 4: Verification Complete!

Once you've completed these steps, your account is protected with 2FA. From now on, you'll need both your password and a verification code to log in.

Pro Tips:

  • Keep your backup codes in a secure but accessible place

  • Don't store backup codes on the same device you use for authentication

  • Consider using a password manager to store your backup codes securely

  • Test your 2FA setup by logging out and back in
