Last modified 11/28/2024 1:28:41 AM EST Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of verification beyond just your password. Here's a quick guide on how to set it up: Step 1: Sign to your TaxBandits account. Step 2: Click your ‘Profile’ on the dashboard and click ‘Two-Factor Authentication.’ Step 3: Click ‘Enable 2FA’. Step 4: Enter your phone number and select how you’d like to receive the code, then click ‘Get Code.’ Step 5: Enter the verification code sent to your phone number to enable phone number verification. Once enabled, you’ll prompted to enter the verification code sent to your phone number every time you log in (in addition to your password). Step 6: In addition to phone number verification, you can also use an authenticator app to enable Two-Factor Authentication. Simply scan the QR code in your authenticator app and enter the verification code displayed. Then, click ‘Verify.’ Recommended Apps: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 2FA Authenticator, or LastPass Step 7: Then, download and save the recovery codes. You must these codes only if you lose access to your authenticator app or phone number. Each code will expire once used. You must generate a new set of codes if all the codes have expired.
