Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Learn how to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Administrator users to add an extra layer of security to your IndyForms account.

Updated over a month ago

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your IndyForms account by requiring a second verification step when logging in.

This helps protect sensitive data, user access, and account settings — especially for Administrator users.


What is 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication means you log in using:

  1. Something you know – your password

  2. Something you have – a time-based verification code from an authenticator app

Even if someone knows your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the verification code.


Who Can Use 2FA?

2FA is available for Administrator users (Admin Licence holders).

This is particularly recommended for organisations handling sensitive information or managing multiple users.


How to Enable 2FA

2FA is enabled by our support team.

To turn on 2FA for your account:

Let us know that you would like 2FA enabled on your IndyForms account, and we’ll activate it for you.


What Happens Next?

Once enabled:

  • You’ll be prompted to set up 2FA the next time you log in.

  • You’ll scan a QR code using an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator).

  • From then on, you’ll enter a verification code each time you log in.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q. Can I enable 2FA myself?
No — 2FA must be enabled by the IndyForms support team.

Please start a support chat or email [email protected] to request activation.

Q. Is 2FA available for all users?

2FA is available only to Administrator users (Admin Licence holders).

Q. What happens if I lose access to my authenticator app?

If you lose access to your authenticator device, contact our support team immediately via email.

Q. Will I need to enter a code every time I log in?

Yes — once 2FA is enabled, you’ll be required to enter a verification code each time you log in.


Tips

  • Use a trusted authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

  • Keep your device secure — anyone with access to your authenticator app could access your account.

  • Set up device backups (if supported by your authenticator app) to avoid being locked out.

  • Organisations managing sensitive or confidential information should strongly consider enabling 2FA for all Administrator users.
