Overview
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring both your password and a verification code from a second device when you log in. Even if someone discovers your password, they cannot access your account without the second factor.
Methods of Two-Factor Authentication
10Corp supports several 2FA methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Authenticator App | Apps like Google Authenticator or Authy generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) |
| SMS Backup | Receive a verification code via text message as a backup method |
| Backup Codes | Pre-generated one-time codes for emergency access |
How to Enable 2FA
- Log in to your 10Corp account.
- Click on the User icon in the upper right corner and select Settings.
- Navigate to the Security section and click Two-Step Verification.
- Choose your preferred authentication method:
- Google Authenticator — See Setting Up Two-Step Verification with Google Authenticator.
- Authy — See Setting Up Two-Step Verification through Authy.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
- After setup, generate backup codes immediately. See Creating Backup Codes for Two-Step Verification.
- Optionally, add a backup phone number for SMS recovery. See Adding Backup Text Message for Two-Step Verification.
What Happens After Enabling 2FA
- Every time you log in, you will be prompted to enter a 6-digit verification code after your password.
- Open your authenticator app, find the code for your 10Corp account, and enter it at the login prompt.
- The code refreshes every 30 seconds, so enter it promptly.
Disabling 2FA
If you need to disable two-factor authentication:
- Navigate to Settings > Security > Two-Step Verification.
- Click Disable or Remove next to your active authenticator.
- Confirm the action by entering your password or a current verification code.
Warning: Disabling 2FA significantly reduces your account security. We strongly recommend keeping it enabled at all times.
