Supporting 2FA Apps

Learn how to setup and use any of the below mobile apps to work with two-factor authentication on Buyerdock.

The process to get started is very similar and easy for all apps; scan the QR code once and the app starts generating the one-time code you need to login to your website. Below is the list of apps we support.

Instructions

 

Authy

Launch the Authy application. Select the menu icon from the upper right hand corner of the screen and choose “Add Account” from the available menu items.

In this step you can choose to either scan the QR code the plugin provides with your device’s camera or enter your verification code manually.

Once you have scanned the QR code (or entered the code manually) you will be allowed to give your new account a unique nickname and icon. This helps you quickly identify your newly added account in case you have multiple accounts within the Authy app. To continue, hit save and you will be presented with your new authentication token.

If you have not already done so, in the 2FA setup wizard, continue to the next step and enter this code into the “Authentication Code” field.

Once submitted, we will verify your code. If all is well, you will have successfully added an important layer of protection to your Buyerdock login authentication.
