Setting up two-factor authentication (2FA)

Read time: 3 min

Add an extra layer of security to your Numu account with authenticator app-based 2FA.

1

Open security settings

Go to Settings → Account & billing → Security. Click 'Enable two-factor authentication'.

2

Install an authenticator app

Download Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy on your phone if you don't already have one. These are free apps available on iOS and Android.

3

Scan the QR code

Numu displays a QR code. Open your authenticator app, tap the + button, and scan the code. A 6-digit rotating code will appear in the app.

4

Enter the verification code

Type the 6-digit code from your authenticator app into Numu and click 'Verify'. 2FA is now active — you will be asked for this code on every new login.

5

Save your backup codes

Numu generates 8 one-time backup codes. Download or print these and store them securely. If you lose your phone, you can use a backup code to log in and disable 2FA.

💡 Tip

Require 2FA for all Admin-role staff members. One compromised Admin account can affect your entire store, including billing and customer data.
