Enable Two-Factor Authentication

What this guide covers

This guide walks you through enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your JobsiteOn account. 2FA adds a second verification step when you sign in, making your account significantly more secure.

Before you begin

• You need an authenticator app installed on your phone (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or any TOTP-compatible app).
• Have your phone nearby to scan the QR code during setup.

Step 1: Open security settings

1. Go to /settings.
2. Under the Account group, click Password.
3. Scroll to the Two-Factor Authentication section.

Step 2: Start the setup

Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication. A QR code appears on screen.

Step 3: Scan the QR code

1. Open your authenticator app on your phone.
2. Tap the add (+) button.
3. Scan the QR code displayed on screen.
4. Your authenticator app adds a JobsiteOn entry that generates a new 6-digit code every 30 seconds.

Step 4: Enter the verification code

Type the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app into the Verification Code field and click Verify.

Step 5: Save your backup codes

After verification, JobsiteOn displays a set of backup codes. These are one-time-use codes you can use if you lose access to your authenticator app.

• Copy or download the backup codes.
• Store them in a secure location (password manager, printed in a safe).
• Each backup code can only be used once.

Tip: Treat your backup codes like a spare key. Store them somewhere safe but accessible in an emergency.

Signing in with 2FA

After enabling 2FA, the sign-in flow adds a second step:

1. Enter your email and password as usual.
2. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
3. Click Verify to complete sign-in.

Disabling 2FA

1. Go to /settings > Account > Password.
2. Scroll to the Two-Factor Authentication section.
3. Click Disable.
4. Enter your current password to confirm.

Note: Disabling 2FA reduces your account security. Only disable it if you have a specific reason and plan to re-enable with a different authenticator app.
