The Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as Two-step verification, involves the transmission of a temporary verification code via SMS. The received code must then be entered in addition to the password to confirm the user's identity.
💡 Two-Factor Authentication is a prerequisite for setting up Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), now mandatory for the use of your Qonto account.
How to set up Two-Factor Authentication?
From your computer, log in to your Qonto account, go to Settings > Personal Settings section.
Click on the Security tab
In the Two-Factor Authentication section, click Configure to start
Provide or confirm your mobile phone number
In the next step, enter the 6-digit verification code received via SMS.
Note: this code is only valid for 1 minute. If you fail to enter it in time, make a new request.
✅ From this moment on, Two-Factor Authentication is successfully configured on your account.
