How do I turn on two-factor authentication on Faaaster?

Open your Profile, Two-factor authentication section, and click Turn on. From then on, in addition to your password, Faaaster asks at every sign-in for the 6-digit code from your authenticator app: even with a stolen password, no one can get into your account.

Prerequisites — an authenticator app on your phone (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password…) and a verified email address.

Turn on two-factor authentication

1. Click your initials at the top right of the screen, then My profile.
2. In the Two-factor authentication section, Authenticator app row, click Turn on.
3. Enter your Password, then click Continue. If you signed up with GitHub, click Confirm with GitHub.
4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app. If you can't scan it, type in the key shown below the QR code.
5. Enter the 6-digit code shown by the app in Verification code. It is sent on its own at the sixth digit; you can also click Turn on.

Faaaster then signs you out of all your devices, including the VS Code extension. Sign in again with your password and the code from your app: the Authenticator app row now shows On. You also receive an email confirming the activation.

If Faaaster shows "Before turning on two-factor authentication, please verify your email address.", click Send the verification link, verify your address from the email you receive, then start again.

Sign in with the code

1. On the login page, enter your email and password, then click Log in (or use Login with GitHub).
2. The Two-factor authentication window opens: enter the 6-digit code from your app. You can also paste it.

If the code is refused, make sure your phone's clock is correct, then enter the code shown at that moment: it changes every 30 seconds. After too many attempts, wait a few minutes.

When is the code asked?

• at every sign-in;
• when you confirm your password to edit your profile or your organization settings;
• to turn off two-factor authentication.

It is never asked again while you work: managing your sites, opening WordPress from Faaaster or any other action.

Turn off two-factor authentication

1. Open your Profile, Two-factor authentication section.
2. Click Turn off.
3. Enter your Password, click Turn off, then enter the code from your app.

Your account is then protected by your password only.

I lost my phone

Without your app, you can no longer sign in. Contact Faaaster support: they can remove two-factor authentication from your account. You will then sign in with your password alone, and can turn it back on with your new phone.

You didn't turn on two-factor authentication yourself? The confirmation email contains a link to remove it. Then change your password right away.
