Browser Sessions

Two Factor Authentication
The Two-Factor Authentication option in your AAArdvark account lets you require a verification code each time you sign in. After entering your password, you’ll be prompted to enter a code generated by an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator.
Below, we’ll walk you through the steps to activate the two-factor authentication for your AAArdvark account.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
To start setting up two-factor authentication, go to the Two-Factor Authentication section in your profile settings and click the Enable button.
Set Up Your Authenticator App
On clicking Enable, you’ll need to connect an authenticator app to your account:
- Open your phone’s authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator.
- Scan the QR code displayed on the screen or enter the setup key manually within it.
- Enter the one-time code generated by the app into the Code field.
- Click Confirm to finish enabling two-factor authentication.
Final Setup
After adding the correct code from the authenticator app and confirming it, two-factor authentication will be active on your account.
At this stage, you’ll see a set of recovery codes. These codes allow you to regain access if you ever lose your authenticator device, so be sure to copy and save them somewhere secure before continuing.
Once your recovery codes are saved, two-factor authentication is fully enabled. From now on, you’ll be prompted for a code from your authenticator app whenever you sign in.
Delete Profile
To permanently delete your profile, go to the Delete Profile section. If you own a workspace, make sure to transfer ownership to another administrator before proceeding.
