How to enable 2FA

Learn how to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your Redamp.io account to enhance security.

What is 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), also known as two-step verification or multi-factor authentication (MFA), is a security process that requires users to provide two separate authentication factors to verify their identity before gaining access to an application. This process typically consists of something that the user knows (e.g., password) and something that the user physically has (e.g., smartphone).

In practice, the process works as follows:

  1. The user enters their username and password into the application.
  2. The application prompts the user to enter a randomly generated 6-digit code from either the 2FA app on their smartphone or via SMS.

Why should I use 2FA?

In the event of a data breach or if your password is stolen, 2FA can prevent unauthorized access. Without the second factor (which is typically the 6-digit code), the attacker is not able to log in to your account.

How to enable 2FA for your Redamp.io account

To enable 2FA for your Redamp.io account, you need to have an authenticator app installed on your smartphone. We recommend the following apps:

Steps to enable 2FA:

  1. After installing the app on your smartphone, go to your Redamp.io account into "Account Settings" and click on the "Enable Two-Factor Authentication" button.
  2. A QR code will appear on the screen.
  3. Open the authenticator app on your smartphone and scan the QR code.
  4. You will see a 6-digit code in the app.
  5. Click on the "I've scanned the QR code" button in the Redamp.io Web Console.
  6. You will be asked to enter the 6-digit code from the authenticator app.
  7. You're done! Two-Factor Authentication is now enabled for your Redamp.io account.
