With two-factor authentication on, signing in with your password also asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password or Authy.

​
Before you start

Two-factor authentication protects password sign-in, so your account needs a password. If you signed up with Google, GitHub or LinkedIn, the Two-factor authentication row is hidden until you set one:
  1. Go to Settings → Sign-in & security.
  2. In the Password row, which shows Not set, select Set password.
  3. Enter your email address, select Send reset link and open the Reset your password email.
  4. Select Create New Password, enter a New password and select Save new password.

​
Turn it on

1

Open Sign-in & security

Select Settings in the dashboard sidebar, then Sign-in & security under Account.
2

Select Turn on

In the Two-factor authentication row, which shows Off, select Turn on.
3

Confirm your password

In Turn on two-factor sign-in, enter your Password and select Continue.
4

Add Hiresweep to your authenticator app

In Set up your authenticator app, scan the QR code with your app. If you can’t scan it, select Copy setup key and paste the key into the app.Enter the 6-digit code the app shows and select Verify code.
5

Save your backup codes

In Save your backup codes, you get 10 codes. Select Download codes or Copy codes and keep them somewhere safe, such as a password manager. Each code signs you in once if you lose your phone.Select Finish setup. The row now shows On.
Without your phone or your backup codes, you can’t finish signing in with your password. Save the codes before you select Finish setup.

​
Sign in with two-factor authentication

After you enter your email or username and password, Hiresweep shows Two-factor authentication. Enter the current code from your authenticator app and select Verify. If you don’t have your phone, select Lost access to your authenticator?, enter one of your backup codes in Backup code and select Verify. Type the code as it was given, including the hyphen (for example abcde-12345). Each backup code works once. Signing in with a passkey doesn’t ask for a code.

​
Turn it off

1

Select Turn off

In Settings → Sign-in & security, select Turn off in the Two-factor authentication row.
2

Confirm with your password

Enter your Password and select Turn off two-factor. From then on, your password alone signs you in.

​
Troubleshooting

Codes change every 30 seconds. Enter the newest one. If codes keep failing, check that your phone’s clock is set automatically. After 5 wrong attempts, wait 10 minutes before trying again.
Your account has no password. Set one with Set password in the Password row, then come back.
