Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your account by requiring two forms of verification before granting access. Instead of just a password, you’ll also need a temporary code (sent via SMS, email, or an authenticator app) .

​
Why Use 2FA?

Stronger Security – Even if your password is compromised, hackers can’t access your account without the second factor.
Prevents Unauthorized Access – Protects sensitive data from phishing, breaches, and identity theft.
Widely Recommended – Used by banks, social media, and crypto platforms for maximum safety.

​
How It Works:

  1. Enter your password (first factor – something you know).
  2. Verify with a code or biometric (second factor – something you have or are).
  3. Access granted securely!

Enable 2FA today to keep your account safe and secure!

“Boost your account’s defense with 2FA—hackers won’t stand a chance!”

​
Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  • Download an Authenticator App (Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator).
  • Scan the QR Code.

Enter the six digit code from your authenticator app.

If scanning doesn’t work, manually enter the code on the screen. For example, JFRDAY21GRQVMS355IN53GE3U

  • Click Verify to confirm your 2FA peference.

​
Accessing the Security Settings

  1. Log in to your Shiga Dashboard.

  2. Navigate to Account Settings (visible in the left-hand menu).

  3. Under Security, you will find the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) options.

    ​
    Choosing Your 2FA Method

    Shiga offers two secure methods for 2FA:

    ​
    Option 1: Email-Based Verification

    • How it works: A one-time code will be sent to your registered email (olivera@gmail.com)
    • Best for: Users who prefer simplicity and do not use an authenticator app.
    • Supported apps: Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator.
    • How it works: Generates time-sensitive 6-digit codes that refresh every 30 seconds.
    • Best for: Enhanced security, as it does not rely on SMS/email (which can be intercepted).

Authorizing 2FA Setup

  1. Once you select an authentication method, you will be prompted to:

    1. Enter a 6-digit verification code from your chosen method (email or authenticator app).
    2. Confirm the action by clicking “Authorize”.
    3. Confirm Your 2fa is set.

    Never share your private key or 2FA codes with anyone.

    If you lose access to your 2FA method, account recovery may be difficult hence ensure backup options are in place.
