Security Settings

Overview of Security Settings Page

This page focuses on enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your account.

Two-Factor Authentication Section:

• Information: A message indicates the purpose of 2FA: "Increase your account's security by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)".

• Red Dot: The red dot next to "Two-Factor Authentication" indicates that it is currently not fully configured or active.

Methods for Two-Factor Authentication:

You are provided with two options to set up 2FA:

1. Setup Using Email

• Purpose: This method sends a verification code to your registered email address during login.

• Information: "Enabling this feature will send code on your email account example@gmail.com for log in." (Your specific email address will be displayed here).

• Enable Button:

  • Purpose: To activate 2FA via email.

  • How to Use: Click the green "Enable" button. This will likely trigger a process to verify your email and activate the feature.

2. Setup Using Google Authenticator

• Purpose: This method uses the Google Authenticator app to generate time-based verification codes, even when your phone is offline.

• Information: "Use the Authenticator app to get free verification codes, even when your phone is offline. Available for Android and iPhone."

• Enable Button:

  • Purpose: To activate 2FA via Google Authenticator.

  • How to Use: Click the green "Enable" button. This will typically display a QR code that you need to scan with your Google Authenticator app, followed by a field to enter a verification code from the app to confirm the setup.

Saving Your Changes

• For both 2FA methods, clicking the "Enable" button will initiate the setup process. Once successfully completed, the feature will be activated. There might not be a separate "Save" button on this page, as enabling a feature directly applies the change.
