How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to your 17hats login by pairing your account password with a six-digit code from the authenticator app of your choice. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through setup from Account Settings, connecting your authenticator app with the QR code or Manual Setup Key, and verifying your first code. We’ll spend extra time on recovery codes, since saving, printing, and backing them up is what keeps you from getting locked out if you ever lose your device. You’ll also see how to log in with a recovery code, manage or turn off Two-Factor Authentication, and require it for every user on your account, including how the fourteen-day setup window works. Set it up once, save those codes somewhere safe, and enjoy a login that’s locked tight for everyone except you.
