Enable two-step login to give your account the extra layer of security it needs. Two-step verification is a security process that requires you to enter an extra code when logging into your WebinarGeek account (apart from your regular password). This extra code is generated using an app on your phone.

Enable two-step verification

In the top right, click on 'Account' > 'My account' > 'Two-step login'.

Download Google Authenticator or Authy on your smartphone.

Next, scan the QR-code and enter the code to enable two-step verification.

Disable two-step verification

Want to disable two-step login again? Go to 'Account' > 'My account' > 'Two-step login' and click 'Disable'.

Disabling two-step verification

Please note! If mandatory two-step verification is activated for all account users, the account owner will not be able to disable two-step verification on their own account. The mandatory two-step verification has to be disabled before the account owner can disable their own two-step verification.

Enabling mandatory two-step verification for all users

If your account has multiple users, the account owner can configure two-step verification to be mandatory for all users. This allows you to make sure all user accounts are more secure.

First, you will want to enable two-step verification for the account owner. You can read how to do this here.

Once two-step verification has been enabled for the account owner, a new option will appear on the two-step verification settings screen. Go to ‘Account’ > ‘My account’ > ‘Two-step verification’.

Press the ‘Enable’ button to force all account users to use two-step verification for their account as well.

Enabling mandatory two-step login for all users

When this setting is enabled, any user that logs in without having two-step verification configured for their account will be redirected to the two-step verification settings page. There, they will see a message stating that they must set up two-step verification before they can continue using their account. It’ll be impossible to do anything else in the account until two-step verification has been configured.
