v3.50: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Koyfin -

We’ve introduced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance security and keep sensitive personal or client information protected.

How it works:

  • Optional 2FA Setting: Activate 2FA in ‘My Profile’ settings using a QR code and an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Symantec VIP, and more).
  • 30-Day Session Limits: Logged-in sessions with 2FA enabled expire after 30 days, requiring re-authentication with a 6-digit code.
  • Secure Account Changes: 2FA is required to change your account email, adding an extra layer of protection.

How to enable 2FA:

  1. Go to Security Settings: Navigate to ‘My Profile’ > Security.

2. Enable 2FA:

  • Toggle on ‘2FA’ to start the setup.
  • A QR code will appear on the screen.
  • Open your preferred authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator) and scan the QR code.
  • Enter the 6-digit code generated by the app into Koyfin to complete the setup.

3. Confirmation: Once verified, 2FA is enabled.

How to log in with 2FA enabled:

  1. Enter Your Credentials: Log in with your email and password as usual.
  2. Enter the Verification Code: A second screen will prompt you to enter a 6-digit code generated by your authenticator app.

3. Access Your Account: Once verified, you’ll gain access to your account.
