By setting up and enabling Two-Factor Authentication you give your account an extra layer of security in order to prevent unwanted access to your account here on Howl.gg. Once set up, when you try to log in to your Howl account, our page will always ask for your 2FA code which you will have set up on your phone; you will have to enter the current code that is shown on your authentication app. This code changes every 30 seconds.
Our 2FA system will be able to protect your account and make it almost impossible for a potential hijacker to gain access. Don't share your 2FA code with anyone!
To set 2FA up, you have to install an authentication application on your chosen device, we suggest Google Authenticator or Auth. You can then go over to your Settings > Security page to link your device by either copying the string provided into the 2FA app or simply using the QR Code shown. From there, you will be required to enter the code generated on the app into the form on your security settings page.
Do NOT share your QR Code or the string provided with anyone, or you may expose your access credentials to your account.
