Epayslips 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

epayslips.co.uk Supported

Epayslips lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Epayslips account safe even if your password leaks.

A Epayslips account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Besides an authenticator app, Epayslips also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Epayslips also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods Epayslips supports

  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)

  3. 3

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Epayslips displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  5. 5

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Epayslips account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If Epayslips shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Epayslips recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

How to recover your Epayslips account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Epayslips gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Epayslips doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Epayslips's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
