Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Why 2FA is Important

Two-factor authentication adds an essential layer of security to your Assignar Pay account. By requiring a second verification method beyond your password, 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if your password is compromised. This protection is crucial for:

• Safeguarding sensitive payment information
• Protecting customer data
• Preventing unauthorized transactions
• Maintaining compliance with security standards
• Defending against phishing and credential theft

Setting Up 2FA

You can easily configure two-factor authentication through your personal settings page:

1. Navigate to your personal account dashboard
2. Go to the Settings page
3. Look for the "Security" or "Two-Factor Authentication" section
4. Follow the prompts to set up your preferred 2FA method

Available 2FA Methods

Assignar Pay supports multiple 2FA methods to provide flexibility and security:

Authenticator Apps (Recommended)

Use apps like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy to generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs).

Best Practices

• Recovery Codes: After setting up 2FA, save your recovery codes in a secure location. These will allow you to regain access if you lose your 2FA device.
• Multiple Methods: Consider configuring more than one 2FA method as a backup.
• Update Contact Info: Keep your phone number and recovery email up-to-date.

Managing 2FA

You can manage your 2FA settings at any time through your personal settings page:

• Add or remove 2FA methods
• Generate new recovery codes
• Temporarily disable 2FA if needed

Two-factor authentication is a simple yet powerful security feature that every Assignar Pay user should enable to protect their account and sensitive information.
