Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Pageviews account. When enabled, you'll need to enter a code from your authenticator app in addition to your password when logging in.

Enable 2FA

  1. Go to Account Settings → Security.
  2. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).
  4. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app to confirm.
  5. Save your recovery codes in a secure location.

Recovery codes

When you enable 2FA, you'll receive a set of one-time recovery codes. These codes can be used to log in if you lose access to your authenticator app.

  • Store them securely — Print them or save them in a password manager.
  • Each code can only be used once.
  • If you run out of recovery codes, you can generate a new set from the Security settings.

Logging in with 2FA

After entering your email and password, you'll be prompted to enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app. If you don't have access to your app, click Use recovery code to enter one of your saved codes.
