Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Secure your account and protect your projects by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This guide walks you through verifying your email and linking an authenticator app to your Inwista workspace.

1. Initiate 2FA Setup

From your main dashboard, look at the top right corner of the screen next to your profile name.

Click the button with the padlock icon labeled Enable 2FA to start the process.

2. Verify Your Email

For security reasons, your account email must be verified before you can configure 2FA. If you haven't done this yet, a modal will appear:

  • Send Verification: Click the purple Verify e-mail button in the modal.
  • Confirm via Email: Check your inbox for a verification email from Inwista and click the provided link to confirm your address.

3. Start the Setup Process

Once your email is verified, return to your dashboard and click the Enable 2FA button again.

A new modal will appear. Click the purple Start Setup button to generate your unique secret key and QR code.

4. Link Your Authenticator App

You will now see a QR code on your screen. Follow these final steps to complete the security setup:

  • Scan the QR Code: Open your preferred authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator) and scan the QR code. Alternatively, you can enter the provided text key manually.
  • Enter the Verification Code: Your app will generate a temporary code. Type this into the 6-digit verification code input field.
  • Complete Setup: Click the Verify & Enable 2FA button to finalize the process. Your account is now secured.
