Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security when you log in to Yuki. This means that your identity will be determined on the basis of two factors when you log in. The first factor is your username and password, the second factor is a 6-digit code generated for you on your mobile phone.

Each user in Yuki can enable the two-factor authentication. 

Two-factor authentication can be disabled again at any time via your login screen or if you are logged in to Yuki via your contact card:

• Lost access to Authenticator
• Disable two-factor authentication (2FA) in Yuki.

After enabling two-factor authentication, you need to enter the following details during login: 

• step 1: your user name (email address) and your password
• step 2: a 6-digit code generated by an authentication app.

To generate the 6-digit code, you must use the Google Authenticator app or the Microsoft Authenticator app on your mobile phone.

Both apps can be downloaded from the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (iPhone).

For a detailed description of how to install the Google Authenticator app on an Android or an iPhone, see Download and install Google Authenticator app.

For a detailed description of how to install the Microsoft Authenticator app on an Android or an iPhone, see Download and install Microsoft Authenticator app.
