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
- On login, you’ll be prompted to set up MFA.
- Choose a method: Passkey (recommended), SMS code, or Authenticator App (TOTP).
- Complete Verification.
- 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.
