Setup two-factor authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Dearnex account in addition to your username and password by requiring access to the smartphone or U2F device. When Two-Factor Authentication is enabled, your account cannot be accessed by anyone unauthorised by you, even if they have stolen your password.

To enable Two-Factor Authentication for your account, please follow the steps below:

• Sign in to your Dearnex account.
• Click the user icon in the top right >> choose Settings
• Click Security from the left

On the page, you will now have the option to enable Two-Factor Authentication, currently Dearnex supports TOTP authentication where an authentication app can be used such as Google Authenticator or Authy.

• Click Enable 2FA
• You will be redirected, confirm your password
• You will be redirected back, click Enable 2FA again
• Follow the 3 step instructions now visible on the screen

Once you've completed you'll then see your recovery codes, you can see these any time.

If you wish to disable your 2FA you may come back to this page and click Disable 2FA
