It is possible to add two-factor authentication (2FA) to your user account as a six-digit code sent to your email address to confirm that you are trying to log in. This increases the security of your account, as both your password and access to your email account are required for login. If you log in with BankID or Yubikey, you do not need to confirm with an email code.
Two-factor authentication by email cannot be disabled once enabled.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your user account
Log in as usual. Once logged in, click on your name at the top right and select the "My profile" option.
Select "Security" in the left menu.
Enable both the "Recovery codes" settings at the bottom of the page and then the "Verification code with email" by clicking the "Enable" buttons.
In the next step, you need to activate recovery codes. You do this by clicking on "Create codes." When you click on "Create Codes," a verification code will be sent to the email address you enter in the field.
After you have activated recovery codes, the activation codes you generated are displayed. You can choose to print, download, or copy the codes. Then click "Continue."
If you click "Continue", a verification code will be sent to your email. Enter that code/paste that code in the field that appears and then click "Activate".
Done!
Once this is set up, a six-digit verification code will be sent to your email address each time you log in with your email address and password to Boardeaser. You can enter the code manually or copy it directly from the email.
If you did not receive a verification code, you can request a new one after 120 seconds.
If you no longer have access to the email address, you can click the link "Use a recovery code." This guide explains recovery codes in more detail.
