Two-step verification adds a second check when you sign in: a 6-digit code from an app on your phone. Even if someone learns your password, they can't get in without that code. It protects your whole FinlyWealth account, Finly Money included.
Before you start
Install a free authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, 1Password or Authy. If you sign in with a password, have it handy.
Turn it on
Open Security
Go to Settings, then Profile, and scroll to Security. Under Two-step verification, choose Set up two-step verification.
Start setup
If you have a password, type it under Confirm your password. Then choose Start setup.
Scan the code
Open your authenticator app and scan the code on screen. Can't scan it? Type the key shown under the code into your app instead.
Confirm it works
Type the 6-digit code from your app and choose Confirm. Codes change every 30 seconds, so use the one showing now.
Save your backup codes
Choose Download codes or Copy codes and keep them somewhere safe. Tick I've saved my backup codes somewhere safe, then choose Done.
Signing in
When you sign in, with a password, Google or an email link, you're asked for the code from your app. Tick Remember this device for 30 days to skip the code on that browser. Leave it off on a shared or public computer.
Lost your phone? Choose Use a backup code instead and type one of your backup codes.
Once you're in, you stay signed in for 30 days from the moment you signed in, however often you use Finly Money. Then you sign in again. On a device you chose to remember, that sign-in usually skips the code. Anywhere else, you enter your code.
Manage it
Under Two-step verification on your Profile:
- Generate new backup codes replaces your old set. Codes you saved before stop working.
- Turn off removes the second step, so your password alone protects your account.
Both ask for your password first, if you have one.
