How To Add 2FA to your Account

Introduction

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Falix account by requiring not only your password or login via an external account (like Google or Discord), but also a second form of authentication. This guide will walk you through the steps to enable 2FA on your account.

Why Use 2FA?

2FA significantly enhances the security of your account by making it much harder for unauthorized users to gain access. Even if someone manages to obtain your password, they would still need the second factor to log in.

Steps to Enable 2FA

1. Navigate to the Profile Settings page.
2. Find the “Activate 2FA” option.
3. You will be shown a QR code and a secret. If you can’t add the 2FA entry using the QR code, you can use the secret given to you.

To add a 2FA entry, you will need an authenticator app. Below are 3 recommended authenticator apps:

• Ente Auth
• Google Authenticator
• Microsoft Authenticator

• • Mobile: Click the plus icon in the bottom right corner. If you scan the QR code, Ente Auth will fill in the information. If you add the entry using a secret, you will have to enter the information manually.
  • Desktop: Click the plus icon in the bottom right corner. Enter the Issuer (the website or the business), Secret (the code) and Account Name.
• 1. Click the plus icon in the bottom right corner.
  2. Scan the QR code or add your entry using a secret. When adding using a secret, enter the name for your entry, enter your secret and then select the type of the key.
• 1. Click the QR code icon in the bottom right corner.
  2. You will be prompted to scan the QR code. You may choose to add your entry using a secret instead by pressing the “Enter code manually” button, selecting what type of account you want to use, entering the account name and your secret.

Remember to make sure to keep a backup of your 2FA codes somewhere safe, as without a 2FA code you will not be able to access your account.
