How to Activate Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Switch Hub account, ensuring that only you can access your information. Follow the steps below to enable this feature and enhance your account's protection.

Step 1: Access the Settings Menu

Begin by opening the Switch Hub app on your device. Once you’re logged in, navigate to the Settings option, which is usually represented by a gear icon. From there, select Security to access the security settings for your account.

Step 2: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

In the Security section, look for the Two-Factor Authentication option. Click on it to begin the setup process. You will be guided through a series of prompts that will help you link your preferred authentication app. Popular options include Google Authenticator, Authy, or any other app that supports time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).

Step 3: Link Your Authentication App

Follow the on-screen instructions to link your authentication app to your Switch Hub account. This typically involves scanning a QR code or entering a setup key provided by the app. Once linked, your authentication app will generate a one-time code that you will use for future logins.

Step 4: Log In with Two-Factor Authentication

After activating 2FA, every time you log in to the Switch Hub app or perform sensitive actions, you will be prompted to enter a one-time code from your authentication app. This ensures that even if someone has your password, they cannot access your account without the code generated by your app.

By following these steps, you can significantly enhance the security of your Switch Hub account.
