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.
