🔐 Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

🎯 Objective

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Ugosign account to add an additional layer of security to sign-in.

📝 Prerequisites

• Access to your Ugosign account.
• A smartphone or a TOTP authenticator app (Proton Pass, Bitwarden, etc.).

📍 Steps

1. Sign in to Ugosign and open Profile > Security.

2. Click "Enable".

2. Scan the QR code or enter the secret key from your app.

4. Enter the 6-digit code generated by the app and confirm.
5. Download or copy your backup codes and keep them in a safe place (password manager, vault).
6. Click Finish to confirm activation.

✅ Expected result

2FA is enabled. At each new sign-in (or from a new device), a 6-digit code will be requested in addition to your password.

💡 Good to know

• TOTP codes refresh every 30 seconds. If a code fails, wait for the next one and check your phone’s time.
• Lost access to the 2FA app: use a backup code to sign in, then reset your 2FA.
• From Profile > Security, you can disable 2FA or regenerate backup codes.
