How does two-factor authentication work?

Two-factor authentication, also known as two-step verification, adds an extra layer of security to your account login process. This means that, in addition to your usual password, you’ll need to complete a second form of verification, which significantly strengthens your account’s protection.

Verification Apps

You’re free to choose which verification app you’d like to use. These apps generate a unique, temporary code that you’ll need to enter when logging in. Here are some popular options:

  • Google Authenticator: Widely compatible and easy to use. (Download for iPhone or Android)
  • Microsoft Authenticator: Offers a seamless experience for users of Microsoft products. (Download for iPhone or Android)
  • LastPass: In addition to password management, this app also offers two-factor authentication functionality.

Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

Setting up two-factor authentication is usually a simple process. Here’s how to do it for the Card Manager:

  1. Log in to the Card Manager: Use your regular login credentials to access your account.
  2. Scan the QR Code: When activating two-factor authentication, a QR code will appear on your screen. Open your verification app and use it to scan the QR code.
  3. Enter the Unique Code: The verification app will generate a unique code. Enter this code on the Card Manager website to complete the process.

By adding this extra step, you ensure that only you can access your account — even if someone else knows your password. This makes two-factor authentication an essential part of modern online security.
