Two-Factor Authentication
Add an extra layer of security to your account by enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) with an authenticator app.
What you'll learn
- ✓Enabling 2FA from your Account settings
- ✓Scanning the QR code with an authenticator app
- ✓Entering the 6-digit code to confirm setup
- ✓Storing backup codes safely
Go to Account settings
Click "Account" in the sidebar (or click your profile avatar in the bottom-left and select "Account Settings"). Scroll down to the "Security" section. You'll see a "Two-Factor Authentication" card showing the current status — Disabled by default.
Click Enable 2FA
Click the "Enable 2FA" button. A setup dialog opens showing a QR code and a manual setup key below it. Open your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or any TOTP-compatible app) and scan the QR code. If your app doesn't support QR scanning, tap "Enter code manually" and type the key shown below the QR code.
Enter the 6-digit code
Your authenticator app will show a 6-digit time-based code that refreshes every 30 seconds. Enter the current code in the confirmation field in CueQuote and click "Verify & Enable". Once verified, 2FA is active immediately — every future login will require your password plus a code from your authenticator app.
Pro tip: Enter the code promptly — TOTP codes expire after 30 seconds. If the code is rejected, wait for the next one to appear in your app and try again.
Save your backup codes
After enabling 2FA, CueQuote shows you 8 one-time backup codes. Download or copy them and store them in a secure place (password manager, printed sheet in a safe). If you ever lose access to your authenticator app, a backup code lets you log in and disable or reset 2FA. Each code can only be used once.
Pro tip: Never store backup codes in the same place as your password. If someone gets both, 2FA provides no protection. A password manager with a separate 2FA-codes note is a good approach.
