Setting up two-factor authentication (2FA)

Setting up two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Finthy account. Even if someone gets your password, they can't access your account without the second factor.


​

How 2FA works

After entering your password, you'll need to enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app. This code changes every 30 seconds.


​

To enable 2FA

  • Go to Settings from the main menu

  • Open the Security tab

  • Find the Two-Factor Authentication section

  • Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication

  • Scan the QR code with your authenticator app

  • Enter the 6-digit code to verify

  • Save your backup codes in a safe place


​


​

Important: Recovery codes are shown only once. Save them somewhere secure, you will need them if you lose access to your authenticator app.

Passkeys: a password-free sign-in option

Passkeys (WebAuthn) are now available in the web app as a stronger, password-free way to sign in. Native-app passkeys are on our roadmap. A passkey uses your device biometrics or a security key, so there is no password to phish or reuse. You can add a passkey in addition to 2FA, or use it instead of a password.


​

To add a passkey:

  • Go to Settings from the main menu

  • Open the Security tab

  • Find the Passkeys section

  • Click Add a passkey and follow your device prompts

You can rename or remove a passkey from the same section at any time.
