Using two-factor authentication for Admin Portal
Last updated
Last updated
We've recently implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for workspace settings. This adds an extra layer of security to your account, making it even harder for unauthorized access. We are using time-based one-time password (TOTP) which automatically generates an authentication code that changes after a certain period of time. This is only implemented for workspace administrators.
Loop Email is app-anostic when it comes to TOTP apps. Just search for "TOTP app" in your browser and install app at your choosing.
Popular TOTP Apps:
Google Authenticator (|)
Microsoft Authenticator (|)
Twilio Authy (|)
FreeOTP (|)
Install app of your choosing on your smart device and continue to next step.
When you access your workspace settings, this is the first screen you will see:
Choosing "Next" you will be asked to sign in with your primary account.
When you get through sign in, a QR code will be generated for you TOTP authenticator.
Warning: This is the only time the secret code will be displayed. Keep it confidential. It is recommended to backup your secret to a safe place in case you lose your phone.
Open your TOTP app and scan QR code. After scanning, the app displays a six-digit code that you can enter on your next screen after clicking "Done".
Enter 6-digit code generated by your TOTP app and after clicking "Verify code", you will be redirected to workspace settings.
