Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA, see Wikipedia) adds an important layer of security to your SciPost account: the logging in procedure verifies something your know (your password) and something your possess (your mobile device). Our 2FA setup makes it nigh impossible for your account to be hijacked. We highly recommend it to all our users.

Our implementation requires you to use an authenticator app on your mobile device, which generates time-dependent security codes on your phone. Such a code is then required together with your password upon logging in (the codes get renewed at short time intervals, so don't procrastinate when logging in). If you don’t already have one, you will need to install a mobile authentication app, for example:

(many other choices are available, depending on your device's operating system).
