Set up two-factor authentication
Link an authenticator app, confirm the first code and store recovery codes.
Two-factor authentication requires a temporary code from your authenticator app in addition to the password. Protection becomes active only after you confirm a valid first code.
Step by step
- 1Open Security, choose Enable and confirm your password when required.
- 2Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code. If scanning is unavailable, carefully enter the displayed secret key.
- 3Check that the app displays Boekhouden and the correct account recognisably.
- 4Enter the current six-digit code before it refreshes and choose Confirm.
- 5Then open the recovery codes and store them safely outside Boekhouden and away from the device holding your authenticator.
What is on the screen?
- QR code
- Secret key
- Six-digit authenticator code
- Recovery codes
What happens next?
After confirmation, each new login requires an authenticator or recovery code after the password. If you leave setup before confirmation, two-factor authentication is not yet active.
