How to add two factor authentication?
Updated over 2 months ago

Secure the data of your project with two-factor authentication. Lingohub provides additional security for your Company accounts by requiring more than just a password to log in.

To set up the two-factor authentication:

  1. Click on the user icon at the top-right corner and choose "Security."

  2. Scroll down and find the Two-factor authentication section. Click "Enable Two-factor authentication."

  3. Use an application on your phone to get 2-factor authentication codes when prompted.

    Note: If your phone's operating system supports it, you can use your camera to scan and save the two-factor authentication (2FA) code directly to your account. Simply point the camera at the QR code provided during setup, and the system will automatically link the 2FA token to your account, storing it securely in your authentication app or device settings.

  4. Scan the QR with the two-factor authentication app on the phone or use a text code instead.

  5. Enter the code from the application/phone

  6. Click "Next."

  7. Save the recovery codes and click "Done."

Note: Do not ignore saving the recovery codes from the two-factor authentication app. They are essential as they allow access to your account in case you:

  • lost or damaged your authentication device (e.g., smartphone);

  • don't have access to your primary authentication device;

  • forgot your authentication device password.

For security, store recovery codes separately from your authentication device to prevent loss in case of theft or damage.
