Two-factor authentication (2FA)
How to turn on two-factor authentication for your Certify issuer account.
Last updated 27 September 2026
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second check when you log in, as well as your password. If someone guesses, steals or phishes your password, it's no longer enough to get into your account.
2FA is optional, but we strongly recommend it for every issuer account, and for everyone on your team.
Turn on 2FA
Log in to your issuer account.
Click your name at the top right of the screen.
Click Settings, then Account.
In the 2FA section, choose how you want to receive your second check:
Authenticator app (recommended), such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator
Email
SMS
Follow the instructions on screen to finish.
Why an authenticator app?
Codes from an app work without signal and can't be intercepted in the way emails and text messages sometimes can.
Protect your whole team
Give each colleague their own login and ask them all to turn on 2FA. See How to manage team members and Security at Certify.
