Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with a TOTP Provider

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) from an authentication app like Google Authenticator or 1Password. Follow the steps below to enable 2FA for your account.


📌 How do I set up 2FA?


1️⃣ Go to your account settings


  • Navigate to your account page.
  • Look for the Authenticator Code field (found under the email field).


2️⃣ Set up your TOTP provider


  • Your authentication app (e.g. Google Authenticator, 1Password) will prompt you to:

a) Scan a QR code, or

b) Enter a setup key manually

  • Copy the code from the Authenticator Code field in Prospectus Plus and paste it into your app.


3️⃣ Confirm and save


  • Once setup is complete, tick the confirmation checkbox.
  • Click Save Profile to store your 2FA settings.


4️⃣ Verify your setup


  • You should now see that your TOTP authentication is linked successfully.


🔓 How do I log in with 2FA?


After enabling 2FA, you’ll need to enter a one-time code from your authentication app every time you log in. Simply open your app, find the code for Prospectus Plus, and enter it in the login screen.
