Overview
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), also known as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), adds an extra layer of protection to your Client Area account by requiring both your password and a second form of verification.
This helps prevent unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
Available Authentication Methods
You can enable 2FA using one of the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Time-Based Tokens | Use an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or similar apps. |
| Email-Based 2FA | Receive the verification code by email. |
| WhatsApp-Based 2FA | Receive the verification code through WhatsApp. |
Steps to Enable 2FA
- Log in to your account in the Client Area.
If you do not have an account, please refer to the guide on creating a new account. - From the top menu, go to: My Account > Security Settings
- In the Security Settings page, click Enable next to Two-Factor Authentication.
- Choose your preferred authentication method:
- Time-Based Tokens
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your selected method.
- When prompted, enter the verification code sent to your device, email, or WhatsApp.
- Click Confirm to complete the activation process.
How to Disable 2FA
You can disable Two-Factor Authentication from your Client Area account settings.
- Log in to your account in the Client Area.
- Go to: My Account > Security Settings
- Locate the Two-Factor Authentication section.
- Click Disable.
- Enter the required verification code when prompted.
- Confirm the action to disable 2FA.
Once disabled, your account will no longer require a second verification step during login.
What If You Get Locked Out?
You may be unable to access your account if:
- You lost access to your authenticator app.
- You changed or lost your phone.
- You cannot receive the email verification code.
- You cannot receive the WhatsApp verification code.
- You lost your Backup Code.
Option 1: Use Your Backup Code
If you saved your Backup Code during activation, you can use it on the 2FA verification screen to regain access to your account.
After logging in, go to:
My Account > Security Settings
Then update or reconfigure your Two-Factor Authentication method.
Option 2: Contact Support
If you do not have your Backup Code and cannot receive the verification code, please contact our support team for assistance.
For security reasons, we may ask you to verify your identity before resetting or disabling 2FA on your account.
You can contact support through your registered email address, a support ticket, or the official support channels listed on our website.
