Setting Up (2FA) via Authenticator App

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds a vital layer of security to your iMonnit account. By requiring a dynamic verification code in addition to your password, you significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized account access.

This article guides you through enabling 2FA using an Authenticator App—such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator—within the iMonnit Online portal.

Prerequisites

• An active  account.

  A smartphone with one of the following apps installed:

  • Google Authenticator
  • Microsoft Authenticator

   • Enter the current 6-digit code into the verification field on the iMonnit page.
   • Click Verify or Enable to complete the process.

Managing Remembered Devices

After 2FA is active, you can view your Remembered Devices on the right side of the 2FA dashboard.

• Re-Auth In: Shows how many days remain before that specific device requires a new 2FA code.
• Revoke Access: You can click the Trash Can icon next to a device to force a 2FA challenge upon the next login for that machine.

Security Tip: Always ensure your mobile device is backed up or keep a record of your recovery codes (if provided) to ensure you don't lose access to your account if you lose your phone.
