Enabling 2FA on PayConex
How to configure a PayConex account to use two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your PayConex account, ensuring that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure. By requiring a second form of verification—a code generated by an app on your mobile device—2FA makes it significantly more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up two-factor authentication for your PayConex account using a trusted authentication app. Whether you are new to 2FA or looking to enhance your account security, this guide will provide clear, step-by-step instructions to help you get started.
Two-factor Authentication Applications
Before making any changes to the user account within PayConex you will need a two-factor authentication application installed and set up on your mobile device.
There are a number of these applications available from various software companies, two that we can recommend are:
- Google Authenticator
- Microsoft Authenticator
Updating PayConex Account
To configure two-factor authentication for your PayConex account you must log in and navigate to the Settings tab. Here you will click the Manage Your 2FA link.
You will then be directed to a screen to turn on 2FA for your account. Select Yes and click Submit.
After enabling 2FA a QR code will appear. In the screenshot below it is blacked out for security purposes. Scan this QR code into the google authenticator application, enter the six-digit authentication code that appears in the application, and then click submit.
After submitting the code you will see the active 2FA key reflected on the page.
