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

Go to /settings.
Under the Account group, click Password.
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

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

Animation: A QR code appearing on screen, with an arrow pointing to it and a phone icon scanning it, followed by a 6-digit code input field.

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:

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

Disabling 2FA

Go to /settings > Account > Password.
Scroll to the Two-Factor Authentication section.
Click Disable.
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.
