2-Factor Authentication

[Dr. Mike]

To enhance security on the site, 2-factor authentication is now available. It is recommended that you enable 2FA to reduce the risk that your account could be compromised. Currently, there are two methods available - the Google Authenticator phone app and security questions. Google Authenticator is the easiest and more secure option.

 

To enable 2FA with Google Authenticator do the following:

1) Log into your embodi3d.com account

2) Go to your account settings by clicking on your username at the top right and choosing Account Settings

3) Go to the Account Security menu and choose to Enable Google Authenticator. If you don't yet have Google Authenticator on your mobile phone, you can download it from the Google Play or Apple Iphone store. It is free.

 

4) You will then be shown a scannable QR code (blurred in the picture below). Scan this using the Google Authenticator app on your phone. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PRINT OUR THE QR CODE SCREEN AT THIS POINT AND KEEP THE PRINTOUT IN A SAFE AND SECURE PLACE. IF YOUR PHONE IS EVER LOST OR STOLEN, YOU CAN USE THE PRINTOUT TO RECONFIGURE GOOGLE AUTHENTICATOR ON A NEW REPLACEMENT PHONE.

The google authenticator app will display a 6 digit code that changes every 20 seconds or so. Type in the current code to confirm that your phone is set up properly.

 

That is it! Now you have 2FA on your account and greatly enhanced security!
