Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
In the invoicing system, you work with sensitive data such as customer names, addresses, bank account numbers, and issued invoices. If someone gains access to this data, they could commit serious fraud, potentially in your name.
Unfortunately, passwords can leak easily: a weak password, a compromised email account, or a phishing site where you accidentally enter your credentials is all it takes.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides an extra layer of protection. This means that besides your password, a second step is required to log in, such as:
A one-time code from your authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator), or
A confirmation code received via email.
How to set up two-factor authentication?
Navigate to the Password and Security > Two-Factor Authentication menu.
In the Two-Factor Authentication section, you will find two options:
Application-based authentication
Two-factor authentication via email code
Activating application-based authentication
Setting up application-based authentication is simple. The system guides you step-by-step through the process of configuring your authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator).
Once activated, you will still have access to the QR code needed for setup and can download your backup codes at any time.
Email-based authentication
To use email-based authentication, you simply need to activate the function. The code required for login will be sent to your registered email address.
Combined authentication
You can enable both authentication methods simultaneously. In this case, application-based authentication will be the primary security factor. If for some reason it does not work, you have the option to request the login code via email.
