Log in with Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)

App User Guides
1

With the release of app version 1.15.14, we have added second-factor authentication to best safeguard your account and information. We are not acting in response to a threat but rather taking a proactive step to ensure your account security.

When you log in after updating to this app version, whether you are a new or returning user, you will be prompted to complete your account setup, including adding your phone number, which will be used as your second factor for authentication.

The setup process will be as follows:

  1. Log in with a login link (or password if you have a secure password set up)
  2. Add your first and last name (if missing)
  3. Enter your phone number (if missing)
    • Verify your phone number by entering a code we’ll send to you via text message
  4. Set up a custom password (if you want to use a password to log in)
    • You can skip this step if you don’t want to use a password and prefer to log in with a login link

That’s it! Once you’ve logged in and completed these steps, you will have successfully set up multi-factor authentication.

On subsequent logins, after completing the one-time setup, you will be asked to:

  1. Log in with a login link or enter a password
  2. Then, enter the code we’ll send to your verified phone number
