Secure your account with two-factor authentication (2FA)

📍 Where to find it: Avatar at the bottom of the menu → Profile → Security

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of protection to your sign-in: in addition to your password, you enter a 6-digit code generated by an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.).

How it works

You scan a QR code with your authenticator app, which then generates a new code every 30 seconds. You confirm by entering a code, then Madyis Hub gives you backup codes to keep safe so you can regain access if you lose your phone. The "Security" section only appears if 2FA has been enabled on the installation by the administrator.

Step by step

1. Open your avatar at the bottom of the menu, then "Profile".
2. Scroll down to the "Security" section and start the 2FA setup.
3. Scan the QR code shown with your authenticator app (or enter the key manually).
4. Enter the 6-digit code generated by the app to confirm.
5. Download or copy the backup codes and store them in a safe place, then tick the confirmation and finish.

Good to know

• Keep your backup codes away from your phone (password manager, printout): they are your only recourse if you lose the device.
• If the "Security" section doesn't appear in your profile, it means 2FA isn't enabled on your installation; contact Madyis Hub support.
• Don't confuse this with Settings → Security, which is about SSO/SAML sign-in for large organizations.
