One-Time Password (OTP) Setup Guide

What is OTP?

OTP (One-Time Password) is an additional security layer for your account. It requires you to enter a unique 6-digit code from an OTP app on your mobile device every time you log in. This ensures that even if someone knows your password, they cannot access your account without the OTP.

How to Set Up OTP

1. Download an OTP App: First, download and install an OTP app of your choice on your mobile device. Below are some popular options available for both Android and iOS:

   • Google Authenticator (Android) / App Store Link (iOS)
   • Authy (Android & iOS)
   • Microsoft Authenticator (Android & iOS)
   • Duo Mobile (Android & iOS)
   • LastPass Authenticator (Android & iOS)
   • FreeOTP (Android & iOS)

2. Scan the QR Code: After enabling the OTP feature on your account, a QR code will be displayed. Open your OTP app and choose the option to add a new account, then scan the QR code.

3. Manually Enter the Key (Optional): If you're unable to scan the QR code, you can manually enter the provided secret key into your OTP app.

4. Validate the OTP: Once the OTP app is set up, it will generate a 6-digit code. Enter this code on the OTP setup page to validate and activate OTP for your account.

Managing OTP in Your Account

• Access OTP Settings: You can manage your OTP settings anytime from the "My Account" section.

• Reset OTP Key: If you want to reset your OTP key (e.g., if you lose your device), you can do so. This will generate a new secret key, and you'll need to reconfigure the OTP app on all your devices. Note: Resetting the key will invalidate all previously configured devices.

• Invalidate OTP Sessions: If you suspect unauthorized access or wish to log out from all devices, you can invalidate the OTP sessions. This will require you to log in again with your password and OTP code.

• Skip OTP Setup: If you decide not to use OTP, you can skip the setup. However, this will make your account less secure. You can always enable OTP later if you change your mind.

Logging In with OTP

Once OTP is enabled, each time you log in, you will be prompted to enter the 6-digit code generated by your OTP app. This code changes every time, ensuring enhanced security for your account.
