2-Factor Authentication Troubleshooting

Webot offers 2-Factor Authentication(2FA), also known as 2-step verification or multifactor authentication, as an added security layer in addition to your username and password.

With 2-Factor Authentication enabled on your account, you'll need to provide a unique verification code sent to your phone in addition to your username and password.

Some events that can trigger 2-Factor Authentication

  • Sign-in attempt from an unrecognized device

  • Sign-in attempt from an unrecognized IP address

  • Sending crypto out of your Webot account

Learn about the various types of 2-step verification.


Troubleshooting 2-Factor Authentication Issues:

SMS Verification

  • If you're using an authenticator app (like Google or Duo), you won't get SMS codes sent to your phone. Please use your authenticator app for codes instead

  • Due to issues with the SMS network itself, codes may not get delivered to everyone. You may want to instead use an authenticator app to complete this step, since they don't require internet connectivity or SMS coverage

  • Your SMS inbox may be full. Try deleting some messages from your inbox and requesting another code

  • After several requests to resend the SMS code, our system may temporarily stop sending them as a security measure. After 24 hours, we'll resume sending codes via SMS. If you've already waited 24 hours and still aren't receiving the codes, check with your phone carrier to see if they're blocking our SMS messages
