How do I turn on two-factor authentication?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of security on top of your password; at sign-in, we also ask for a one-time code sent to your email inbox. Even if someone learns your password, they can't get into your account without also reaching the code sent to your email inbox.
How 2FA works on Vunolin:
- Once enabled, a six-digit code is sent to your email address at every sign-in.
- No authenticator app or QR code is needed; it's email-based only.
- Two-Factor Authentication is a feature available on paid plans; if you're on the Free plan, you'll need to upgrade first.
- That's why you should make sure your email address is verified before turning on 2FA.
Steps to turn it on:
- Open the Security page (Settings > Security).
- Tap the Enable button next to the Two-Factor Authentication card. If you're on the Free plan, an Upgrade button appears instead; you'll need to upgrade your plan before you can turn the card on.
- Type the six-digit code sent to your email into the window that opens and confirm.
- Once the code is verified, 2FA is enabled; you'll see a confirmation note below the card showing it's active.
On your next sign-in:
- After you enter your password, we send a six-digit code to your email.
- Type the code from your email into the field on the sign-in screen.
- Once the code is verified, your sign-in is complete.
Turning it off:
From the same Security page, tap the Disable button next to the card, enter the code sent to your email, and confirm; 2FA turns off immediately.
Protect your email account too: for 2FA to be effective, it's important to keep your email account safe with a strong password (and, if possible, the provider's own 2FA). For general account security, also check out the How do I change my profile information? article.
