What is two-factor authentication?

By enabling two-factor authentication, you add a second layer of security to your Bookie Webapp account.

This means that after entering your username and password, you must confirm your identity in a second way to verify that you are the actual account holder.

This provides extra security, for example if you forget to log out on a shared computer or if someone gains access to your login credentials.

There are different forms of two-factor authentication, also known as: authentication, 2FA, two-factor authentication, security key, double security

One common method is entering a code from an authentication app, such as LastPass or Google Authenticator

Enable 2FA in The Bookie Webapp

You can enable this extra security in four simple steps:

  1. Download an Authenticator app on your phone

  2. On your laptop, go to Account > Security in The Bookie Webapp and click Set up two-factor authentication

  3. Scan the QR code generated by The Bookie Webapp with your authenticator app and enter the token

  4. Generate backup tokens in case you lose your phone
