Setting Up 2-Factor Authentication (2FA)

2-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that even if someone obtains your password, they can't access your account without a second verification step. This protects your data, your portfolio and your domains settings.

By enabling 2FA on SafeBrands Customer Panel, users significantly fortify their defence against unauthorised access and potential cyber threats.

• Navigate to “Account Settings” followed by “User”.
• Hover over the three burger lines and click “Edit permissions”.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and locate the Mobile TAN section.
• Check the box labelled “TAN required for login” to enable 2FA.
• Click the Save button to finalise changes.
  
  

Important: if you want to enable 2FA by "Authenticator App", you must go first to Account Settings > Personal Data > Manage Authenticator App and click on "View and manage associated authenticator app" to set up and connect the authenticator application of your choice (you can follow the procedure below to help you: "Configuring 2-factor authentication using an authenticator app like Google Authenticator").
