Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process by making it harder for attackers to gain access to a person's devices or online accounts because, even if the victim's password is hacked, a password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check.

To activate 2-step authentication on your OBDeleven account follow the steps below:

  • Open the side menu by pressing

    .

  • Open Profile by pressing

    .

  • Start the activation of 2-step authentication by pressing

    .

  • You will need to install Authy, Google Authenticator, or any other trusted app to generate an Authentication code.

  • In this case, we will be using Google Authenticator.

  • Install the application and proceed via OBDeleven application by pressing

    .

  • Copy the code by pressing

    . It will be copied to your clipboard.

  • Proceed the steps by pressing

    .

  • Open the Google Authenticator application which you have downloaded before, and proceed with the steps by pressing

    .

  • Open the field to enter the code by pressing

    .

  • The field will appear to enter the code. Press and hold on to the field and you will be able to paste the copied clipboard from previous step

    .

  • Once you will enter the code and apply it, the Authenticator will generate a six-digit code every 60 seconds.

  • Enter the generated code from your authenticator application

    .

  • Apply it by pressing

    .

  • Save your backup code in case you will have issues creating an authentication code and proceed by pressing

    .

  • Finish the setup by pressing

    .
