MultiFactor Authentication

MFA ensures only verified users gain access by requiring multiple authentication factors.

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step beyond your password. It is mandatory for all Tazapay accounts at login and during high-risk actions.

Setup

  1. On login, you’ll be prompted to set up MFA.
  2. Choose a method: Passkey (recommended), SMS code, or Authenticator App (TOTP).
  3. Complete Verification.
  4. Save your recovery codes securely for backup access.

You can also configure MFA in Settings > Security > Multi-Factor Authentication.

MFA methods

  • Passkey (Recommended) - Uses Face ID, fingerprint, or device lock.
  • SMS Code - Receive a 6-digit code via text. Ensure your phone number is up to date.
  • Authenticator App (TOTP) - Works offline with apps like Google Authenticator, 1Password, or Authy. Generates a new 6-digit code every 30s.
  • Recovery Codes - One-time use backup codes provided during setup. Store offline in a secure location.

Managing MFA

From Settings > Security > MFA, you can:

  • Add/remove passkeys
  • Update your SMS number
  • Replace your authenticator app
  • Change your default method
  • View or regenerate recovery codes

Best Practices

  • Enable at least two MFA methods to prevent lockout.
  • Store recovery codes securely and offline.
  • Prefer Passkeys for best balance of security and convenience.
  • Use role-based access: add teammates via Settings > Manage team > Invite Teammate so each user has independent MFA.
