Two-factor authentication

Use two-factor authentication to protect your KlimAPI with an additional security level against unauthorized access.

Note: Two-factor authentication offers the best possible security for your account. We strongly recommend activating 2FA for your account as soon as possible after you log in.

Prerequisites

To configure two-factor authentication, you must install an authenticator application that can generate one-time passwords (OTPs), such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, on your mobile device.

Enable

To enable two-factor authentication, first open your account settings. Then click on Enable 2-factor authentication in the right-hand column.

To enable two-factor authentication, you may need to confirm your password.

Now scan the generated QR code with your authenticator application. This will show you a 6-digit code. Enter this code to finally activate two-factor authentication.

Recovery codes

Important: Be sure to save your recovery codes in a safe place.

Use recovery codes to access your account after you no longer have access to your authenticator application. You will still need your password to log in.

Disable

To disable two-factor authentication, you may need to confirm your password.

To disable two-factor authentication, first open your account settings. Then click on Disable 2-factor authentication in the right-hand column.

If you are unable to deactivate two-factor authentication, speak to an admin in your team.

Enable for the entire team

To change this setting, your account needs admin rights.

To enable two-factor authentication for the entire team, first open your account settings. To adjust this setting, you first need to have two-factor authentication activated yourself. Then switch on Enable two-factor authentication for all users.

The other members of your team will be prompted to set up their two-factor authentication the next time they log in.
