Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security to your accounts. When implemented, the process requires you to enter a unique Time-based One Time Password (TOTP) created through a third-party app.
You will need to download:
- the Oobit app
- an authentication app (e.g. 2FA Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator)
Step 1: Log into Oobit account on desktop
Step 2: Select “Password & Security”.
Step 3: Dowload an authenticator app.
- Find an app that you trust, through ratings and reviews, and download the one best suited to you.
- We can recommend 2FA Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and Microsoft Authenticator as options, there are obviously many more.
Step 4: scan the QR code and enter 6-digit code.
Once you have enabled 2FA on your Oobit account you will be required to enter the TOTP each time that you log into your Oobit account.
NOTE: If your device that holds the authentication app is stolen or the security compromised, especially if it also holds access to your email, immediately deactivate 2FA on your Oobit account and alert our customer support should you be concerned over your account.
