Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Setup & Login
Category: Mobile App Applies to: iOS and Android
Overview
If your organization has Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enforced, you'll need an authenticator app to generate a login token, in addition to your email and password. This guide covers setting up 2FA on the web app first, then signing in on mobile.
Step 1: Set Up 2FA on the Web App (First-Time Login)
- Log in to the Easy Employer web app with your email and password as usual.
- Since your organization has 2FA enforced, you'll be shown a QR code to set it up.
- Open your authenticator app, tap the + (add account) button, and scan the QR code.
You'll see a confirmation message that two-factor authentication has been enabled for your account.
Step 2: Log In With Your Token (Web)
- Log in again with your email and password.
- You'll be asked for your authentication token. Open your authenticator app and enter the code it generates for your account.
- Optional: choose to stay signed in for 30 days so you won't need to enter a token every time. Skip this if you'd rather generate a fresh token at each login.
Click Login.
Step 3: Log In on the New Mobile App
⚠️ Important: The mobile app does not show a QR code on first sign-in. You must complete Steps 1 and 2 on the web app first to enable 2FA before logging in on mobile.
- Open the New Easy Employer mobile app and enter your email and password.
- Enter the token generated by your authenticator app.
Tap Verify and Continue.
Your account data will then sync automatically.
Troubleshooting
- Not asked to scan a QR code: The QR code setup only appears the first time you log in after 2FA is enforced on your account.
- Mobile app won't let you sign in: Set up 2FA on the web app first (Steps 1–2) — the mobile app requires 2FA to already be enabled.
- Lost access to your authenticator app: Contact your organization admin or support so 2FA can be reset for your account.
