Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

What it is: After your password, Smily asks for a six-digit code from an authenticator app on your phone.

Step 1: Turn it on

Open your Profile → find Two-factor authentication (under time-format settings) → select Enable two-factor authentication.

Step 2: Scan the QR code

Scan with your authenticator app, then enter the six-digit code. Can't scan? Type the key printed below the code instead.

Step 3: Save your backup codes

You'll get 10 single-use backup codes. Use Copy codes or Download immediately — they're shown only once and Smily can't retrieve them again.

Step 4: Your profile afterward

Shows when you enabled it, a button to regenerate backup codes, an off switch (needs password or a code to confirm), and a list of browsers that hold a code.

Step 5: Signing in going forward

Enter your password, then your code (or a backup code). Lost both? Use the Support link on the sign-in screen. Keep me logged in controls how long your session and code last.

For account admins

Settings → General settings has a new Require two-factor authentication for all users toggle. Turning it on forces setup at next sign-in and users can't opt out while it's active.

Good to know

• One code per sign-in session, not once a day
• "Keep me logged in" = 2 weeks; unchecked = ends when browser closes
• Changing your password signs you out everywhere
• If access to one account requires 2FA, it applies to your whole sign-in across all accounts
• 5 wrong codes = signed out, just re-enter your password
• Everyone gets signed out once when this feature rolls out
