How can I activate the 2-factor authentication?

If you want to protect your account additionally, you can do this via the 2-factor authentication. If you log in to your Hintbox account, you will be sent a code to your email address that you must enter to log in.

To enable 2-factor authentication, check the blue box.

Then click Save.

At the next login, enter your login data as usual.

In the next step you will receive your code on your e-mail address with which you have registered in the Hintbox.

This code is now valid for 5 minutes.

If the time is exceeded, you can request a new code via Resend code.

Do you want to deactivate the 2-factor authentication again. Click the blue check mark again.

After that you will have to re-enter a code you received by mail to deactivate this function.
