How to turn on two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra verification step when you log in to Mailcamp. After entering your email and password, you will also need a time-based code from an authenticator app.

Before you start

  • Install an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, or another app that supports time-based one-time passwords.

  • Make sure your Mailcamp account is activated.

  • Keep your phone or authenticator device nearby while setting up 2FA.

Turn on two-factor authentication

  • Log in to Mailcamp.

  • Open the account menu in the top-right corner.

  • Click My profile.

  • Open the Two-factor authentication tab.

  • Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.

  • If you cannot scan the QR code, copy the Secret key into your authenticator app manually.

  • Enter the code generated by your authenticator app in the Two-factor code field.

  • Click Enable.

After the code is verified, Mailcamp turns on 2FA for your account and shows that two-factor authentication is enabled.

Log in after 2FA is enabled

  • Enter your Mailcamp email and password as usual.

  • When Mailcamp asks for a two-factor code, open your authenticator app.

  • Enter the current code from the app.

  • Click Verify to finish logging in.

Authenticator codes refresh regularly, so use the latest code shown in the app. If a code fails, wait for the next code and try again.

Turn off two-factor authentication

  • Go to My profile.

  • Open the Two-factor authentication tab.

  • Enter your Mailcamp password.

  • Enter the current code from your authenticator app.

  • Click Disable.

Mailcamp requires both your password and a valid two-factor code before disabling 2FA.

If your code is not accepted

  • Check that you are entering the code for the correct Mailcamp account.

  • Use the newest code shown in your authenticator app.

  • Make sure your phone time is set automatically, because authenticator codes depend on accurate time.

  • If you no longer have access to your authenticator device, contact your account admin or Mailcamp support for help regaining access.
