  • Multifactor authentication without a smartphone (Proton Authenticator)
    Down

    In this block you can activate or deactivate multifactor authentication for this user. 

    To enhance the security of your Billit account, you can set up multi-factor authentication or two-step verification during login. This means you need to confirm your identity using a second device or communication channel, which means that it is indeed you who is attempting to log into your account. As a result, it is no longer sufficient for cybercriminals to only obtain your login credentials and password to hack your account, ensuring significantly better security for your account.

     

    Activate

    Step 1: Install Proton Authenticator

    Step 2: Add the Billit secret key

    • Open Proton Authenticator and click “Create a new code”.

    • In the Title field, enter the login email address of your Billit account.

    • Copy the secret key in Billit:

      • On the MFA screen, below the QR code, copy the long code.

      • Paste it into the Secret field in Proton Authenticator.

    • In the Issuer field, enter “Billit” to clearly identify the code.

    Step 3: Enter the code from your authenticator

    • The authenticator generates a code.

    • Enter this code in Billit.

    • Click “Activate MFA”.

    • Two-step verification is now activated.

     

     

    Use

    When you now log in to Billit, after entering your login and password, you will also be asked for a verification code. You can find this code in the authenticator app you just installed under the 'Billit' item.

     

    Deactivate

    To prevent someone from easily disabling two-step verification, you will need to enter the code from your authenticator app again if you want to disable the two-step verification. To do this, go to the 'Settings' section, then click on 'Deactivate MFA'.
