How do I enable two-factor authentication?

A code that changes every thirty seconds, on top of your password. You need a free app on your phone and two minutes.

In this article

Two-factor authentication adds a second lock to your account: on top of your password, Napiro asks at every sign-in for a six-digit code shown by an app on your phone. Even someone who knows your password cannot get in without your phone.

It is set up under My account, Security, Two-factor authentication. Your email address must have been confirmed first.

The Two-factor authentication page, with the Set up 2FA button

Enable it in three steps

  1. Install a free authentication app on your phone: 2FAS, Google Authenticator or 1Password, for example.
  2. On the page, tap Set up 2FA. A black-and-white square appears: open the app on your phone, choose ā€œaddā€ and point the camera at the square. If you are doing everything from the phone, choose ā€œEnter the key manuallyā€ and copy the key into the app.
  3. The app shows a six-digit code. Type it in the Verification code field and tap Enable 2FA. Done.
The three steps: install the app, scan the square, enter the code

Day to day

At every sign-in, after your password, Napiro asks for the current code: open the app and copy the six digits. The code changes every thirty seconds, no need to write it down.

If you change phone, disable two-factor authentication before parting with the old one, then enable it again on the new one. To disable, the page asks for a code from the app or your current password.
