Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your NewsMachine account. Once you have enabled 2FA, you will need both your password and an authentication code (from an app) to log in. Follow the steps below to set up 2FA.
Vad du behöver:
- A NewsMachine account
- A smartphone with Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or YubiKey installed
Steg-för-steg-instruktioner
1. visit the NewsMachine login page
To begin, go to the NewsMachine login page: https://www.newsmachine.com/loginpage
2. Log in with Your Username and Password
Enter your email address and password to log in to your account. If you are encountering issues logging in, clear your browser’s cache or visit this logout link(https://market.newsmachine.com/logout) to ensure no old sessions are causing issues.
3. Access 2FA Settings
- Once logged in, go to the Settings section (under your name) in the top menu.
- From the drop-down menu, click on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
- There are 3 steps to follow.
4. Open your Authenticator app
You will need a Two-Factor Authentication app to complete the process. Download one of the following apps if you haven’t already:
Once you have the app, open it on your phone.
5. Scan the QR code
On the NewsMachine 2FA settings page, you will see a QR code. Open your authenticator app, find “scan a QR code” in the settings, click on it and scan the QR code with your phone’s camera.
6. Enter the verification code
After scanning the QR code, your authenticator app will generate a unique code every few seconds.
- Enter this 6-digit code in the “Verification code” field on the NewsMachine page.
- Click on Verify.
7. Complete the configuration
Once your code has been verified, click Complete Configuration.
8. Save backup codes
As part of the process, you will receive backup codes. These codes are useful if you lose access to your authenticator app.
- Important: Save and print these codes, then store them securely.
Backing up your passwords and 2FA keys is crucial to protect you from data loss. The best way is to use a dedicated password manager that offers encrypted backups. Avoid storing your passwords in unencrypted files or sharing them with others.
9. Log in with 2FA
The next time you log in to your account, you will be asked:
- Your password
- A verification code from your authenticator app.
This ensures that only you can access your account, even if someone knows your password.
Ytterligare information:
- Authenticator apps: We recommend using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. These apps are secure and widely used for 2FA.
- Backup codes: Make sure to keep your backup codes safe, as they can help you regain access to your account if you lose your phone or can’t use the authenticator app.
- YubiKey: If you prefer a hardware-based 2FA, you can use a YubiKey device.
