Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code from your phone in addition to your password.

Why 2FA is Required

CoralLedger Comply handles sensitive financial data including VAT returns, transaction records, and business information. 2FA is mandatory for all users to protect this data.

Setting Up 2FA

First-Time Setup

When you first log in, you'll be prompted to set up 2FA:

  1. Download an authenticator app on your phone
  2. Scan the QR code displayed on screen
  3. Enter the 6-digit verification code from your app
  4. Save your backup codes in a secure location

Supported Authenticator Apps

  • Google Authenticator (Android / iOS)
  • Microsoft Authenticator (Android / iOS)
  • Authy (Android / iOS / Desktop)
  • 1Password (Android / iOS / Desktop)

Any TOTP-compatible authenticator app will work.

Logging In with 2FA

  1. Enter your email and password as usual
  2. When prompted, open your authenticator app
  3. Enter the current 6-digit code
  4. Click Verify
tip

Codes refresh every 30 seconds. If your code is about to expire, wait for the next one.

Backup Codes

During 2FA setup, you receive a set of one-time backup codes. These are for emergency access if you lose your phone.

Important:

  • Each backup code can only be used once
  • Store them securely (password manager, printed copy in a safe)
  • If you run out of backup codes, contact support

Managing 2FA

Resetting 2FA

If you need to switch authenticator apps:

  1. Go to Settings > Account
  2. Find the Security section
  3. Follow the prompts to reset and reconfigure 2FA

Lost Access

If you've lost both your phone and backup codes:

  1. Contact support@coralledger.com
  2. You'll need to verify your identity
  3. An administrator can reset your 2FA
