Setting up two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to sign-in, so your G8KEPR account stays protected even if your password is exposed. You can enroll using an authenticator app (TOTP) or SMS, and you'll save one-time recovery codes as a backup.

Before you start

• ▸You'll need access to your account Settings and either an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, 1Password, or Authy) or a phone that can receive SMS.
• ▸You may be asked to re-enter your password to confirm the change.

Enroll with an authenticator app (TOTP)

1. 1.Go to Settings → Two-Factor Auth.
2. 2.Choose Authenticator app and select Enable.
3. 3.Scan the on-screen QR code with your authenticator app. If you can't scan, enter the setup key shown beneath the code manually.
4. 4.Your app will start generating a rotating 6-digit code. Enter the current code to confirm and finish enrollment.

Once confirmed, you'll be prompted for a fresh code from your app at each new sign-in.

Enroll with SMS

1. 1.Go to Settings → Two-Factor Auth.
2. 2.Choose Text message (SMS) and select Enable.
3. 3.Enter your mobile number in full international format, for example +1 555 010 1234.
4. 4.We'll send a verification code by text. Enter it to confirm the number and finish enrollment.

Save your recovery codes

When you enable 2FA, we generate a set of single-use recovery codes. Use these to sign in if you ever lose access to your app or phone.

• ▸Copy the codes and store them somewhere safe, such as a password manager or an offline backup.
• ▸Each code works once. Cross them off as you use them.
• ▸You can regenerate a new set anytime from Settings → Two-Factor Auth, which invalidates the old codes.

Managing or turning off 2FA

Return to Settings → Two-Factor Auth to switch methods, update your phone number, regenerate recovery codes, or disable 2FA. For account-wide requirements, see Managing your account security.
