How to set up the two-factor authenticator (2FA)?
To activate:
- Go to personal settings on your account
- Enable the ‘Two-factor authentication’
- Open the Authenticator app on your phone, select the option ‘+’ to add a new account, and scan the QR code from the PeerBerry page
- Insert the 6-digit verification code from the app and press ‘Enable’
- Confirm the modifications by pressing ‘Save changes’ in your settings
To de-activate:
- Go to personal settings on your account
- Disable the ‘Two-factor authentication’
- Open the Authenticator app, copy the 6-digit verification code, insert it in the PeerBerry page, and press ‘Disable’
- Confirm the modifications by pressing ‘Save changes’ in your settings
Logging in via a Google/Apple account works as an additional verification, therefore, a 2FA code is not requested.
