Two-factor authentication

Add a second lock to your Flashpricer account. After your password, Flashpricer asks for a short code from an authenticator app on your phone — so a leaked password alone is never enough to get in.

Optional, per userAny authenticator appTakes 2 minutes

Open your profile

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available to everyone who signs in to Flashpricer with an email and password. You only need an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password or Authy.

You sign in with Google? Your Google account already protects your sign-in, so the option does not appear for you. To add a second step, turn on 2-Step Verification in your Google account.

Turn on two-factor authentication

Open your profile

Click the settings gear and go to User Information (or open app.flashpricer.com/settings/profile). In the Sign-in & security card, click Turn on next to Two-factor authentication.

Scan the QR code

Open your authenticator app, add a new account and scan the QR code. Can't scan it? Type the key shown under the QR code into the app instead.

Enter a code and your password

Type the 6-digit code the app shows, confirm with your Flashpricer password, then click Turn on.

Save your recovery codes

Flashpricer shows a set of recovery codes. Click Copy or Download, keep them somewhere safe (a password manager is ideal), then click I saved my codes.

Change password

Turn on

Recovery codes are shown only once. Each one lets you sign in a single time if you can't use your phone. Without them, getting back into your account takes a manual check by our team.

Signing in with two-factor

Sign in with your email and password as usual. Flashpricer then asks for the 6-digit code from your authenticator app — type it and click Verify. Codes change every 30 seconds, so always use the one currently displayed.

No phone at hand? Click Use a recovery code on the code screen and enter one of your saved codes. Each code works once.
Chrome extension. When you turn two-factor on or off, the Flashpricer extension asks you to sign in again, and from then on it asks for the code too.

Turn it off

In the Sign-in & security card of your profile, click Turn off, enter your password and a code from your authenticator app (or one of your recovery codes), then confirm. Your password alone signs you in again.

Lost your phone?

You still have your recovery codes

Sign in with one of them (Use a recovery code). In your profile, turn two-factor off with another recovery code, then turn it back on with your new phone. You get a fresh set of recovery codes.

You don't have them anymore

Email success@flashpricer.com from the email address of your Flashpricer account. Once we've confirmed it's really you, we reset two-factor so you can sign in with your password and turn it on again.

For teams

Two-factor is a personal setting: each member turns it on from their own profile. On the User Management page (settings gear → User Management), the 2FA column shows who has it On and who is still on password only — a quick way to check your team's coverage.

Frequently asked

Which authenticator app should I use?

Any app that supports standard 6-digit time-based codes works: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, Bitwarden and others. Flashpricer does not send codes by SMS or email.

My code is refused

Make sure you enter the code currently shown (they change every 30 seconds) and that your phone's date and time are set automatically — a clock that drifts produces wrong codes. After several wrong codes in a row, verification is paused for a few minutes to protect your account.

How do I get new recovery codes?

Turn two-factor off, then on again from your profile. You'll scan a new QR code and receive a new set of recovery codes; the old ones stop working.

Can I make two-factor mandatory for my team?

Not today — each member decides for their own account. You can follow who has turned it on in the 2FA column of the User Management page.

I changed phones. What do I do?

Many authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, Authy) can transfer or sync your accounts to a new phone — do that before resetting the old one. Otherwise, follow the Lost your phone? steps above.

Your account is better protected
