Enable multi-factor authentication with an authenticator app

Secure Your Account

Permission Slip supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) via authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password. When enabled, you’ll need both your email code and your authenticator code to sign in.

Enable MFA

1. Open Security Settings

   Click your avatar in the top-right corner to open the user menu, then select Security. The Security Settings dialog will open.

2. Start MFA setup

   If you don’t have MFA enabled yet, the enrollment flow starts automatically. A QR code will appear on screen.

3. Scan the QR code

   Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code. If you can’t scan it, click Can’t scan this? to reveal the secret key, which you can copy and enter manually.

4. Verify and enable

   Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app and click Verify & Enable. MFA is now active on your account.

Signing In with MFA

After entering your email verification code, you’ll see an additional prompt asking for your authenticator code. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app and click Verify to complete sign-in.

If you lose access to your authenticator app, you won’t be able to sign in. Make sure to store your backup codes or secret key in a safe place.
