Two-Factor Authentication

How to enable and manage two-factor authentication for your Hygiara account.

Enable two-factor authentication to add a second sign-in check to your Hygiara account.

Security settings page

Enable 2FA

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Open the security area.
  3. Start two-factor setup.
  4. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app.
  5. Enter the generated code to confirm setup.
  6. Save your recovery codes.

Recovery codes

Recovery codes let you sign in if you lose access to your authenticator app.

Store them somewhere secure. Regenerate them if you think they have been exposed.

Signing in

After 2FA is enabled, sign-in requires your password and a current authenticator code.

Trusted devices may reduce prompts depending on the active settings.

Disable 2FA

Disable 2FA only when replacing the method or recovering an account. Re-enable it as soon as possible.

Avoid

  • enabling 2FA without saving recovery codes
  • storing recovery codes beside your password
  • disabling 2FA as a long-term workaround
