How to activate Two-Factor Authentication.

Two-Factor Authentication uses the Google Authenticator app to provide an added layer of security on your Rocket Matter account.  

Things to know before getting started: 

Recovery codes are used to log into your account in case you cannot access the Google Authenticator or your mobile device.

  • If the recovery codes are used, or if you lose the codes, you will need to restart this process.
  • You will not be given additional recovery codes. 
  • As such, we recommend downloading your codes and saving them to a secure location. When you click 'Download' a .CSV file containing your recovery codes will be saved to your computer's 'Downloads' folder.  Save this file to a secure location.  
  • We also recommend printing the codes and saving a copy in a safe place. 
  • In the 'User List' you will be able to identify which users are utilizing two-factor authentication.
