What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security for your Skimlinks account. To log in, you will need both your password and a unique verification code generated by an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) on your mobile device.

How to set up 2FA (The 3-Minute Guide)

1. Log in to your Skimlinks account and navigate to Settings > Security.
2. Download an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator) from the App Store or Play Store.
3. Scan the QR code shown on your screen with the app.
4. Enter the 6-digit code from your app into the dashboard to verify.

CRITICAL: Save your Recovery Codes

• Important: During setup, you will receive a list of Recovery Codes.
• Action: Save these codes in a secure location (e.g., a password manager or a printed copy).
• Why: If you lose access to your mobile device, these codes are the only way to access your account without contacting support.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

• Code not working? Check if the time on your mobile device is set to "Automatic". If the time is out of sync, the codes will fail.
• Lost your phone? Use your saved Recovery Codes to log in. Once inside, you can reset your 2FA settings.
