How do I enable 2FA authentication on my account?

What is 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security measure that requires two different forms of identification to access a system or account. It adds an extra layer of protection beyond just a password, making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access.

How do I enable 2FA in Transistor?

Before you begin you'll need to install a 2FA authentication app like Authy, Duo or Google Authenticator on your mobile device

Login to your Transistor account and go to your Account page: https://dashboard.transistor.fm/account
You will see a section titled Two-step Authentication
Click the blue link, Enable 2FA on my account




You will be prompted to enter your current password
You'll then see a QR code appear, you'll need to scan this with your 2FA authentication app like Authy, Duo or Google Authenticator



Your 2FA authentication app will provide you with a 6 digit code to enter into Transistor
Click the green Continue button and the setup is complete

Remember: Safely store some backup or recovery codes for your 2FA credentials in case you lose your mobile device.
