This article explains how to configure 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your Paazl web app account.

Each user will be required to have their own Paazl web app account, please read Configuring users.

What you need first

Existing access to a Paazl staging or ship user account, please read Configuring users.

Enable 2FA step-by-step

Log into staging.paazl.com or ship.paazl.com with your username and password.

You will be redirected to the 2FA configuration page. The page will show a QR code and a authenticator secret code, both can be used to connect your phone.

Open the Google authenticator app on your phone and click the plus signs, see the steps below to use either the QR code or authenticator secret code:

When you have successfully connected your phone, you will have a 6-digit code available in the app.

To complete the 2FA configuration you will be prompted to enter the code in the application. Please note: the code is refreshed every 30 seconds and has to be valid when pressing confirm.
