Set up two-factor authentication

By the end of this guide you'll have two-factor authentication set up on your Covercy investor portal, so that when you take a sensitive action Covercy asks you to confirm a one-time verification code in addition to signing in.

Note

Before you start, make sure you're signed in to your investor portal and have your mobile phone nearby. You'll need a phone number that can receive a verification code so Covercy can reach you.

Covercy will never ask you to share your password, two-factor codes, or banking credentials by email, text, or phone. If a message asks you to do this, don't respond — open Covercy yourself and continue from there rather than following a link in an unexpected message.

Add your phone number

When Covercy prompts you to set up two-factor authentication, or from your account two-factor settings, choose to add a phone number.
Select your country, then enter the mobile number where you'd like to receive verification codes.
Save your phone number. Covercy uses it only to send you verification codes.

Tip

Choose a phone you have reliable access to, since you'll need it to confirm sensitive actions. You can update this number later from your account two-factor settings.

Confirm a verification code

When a verification is needed, Covercy shows a dialog with your phone number partly hidden and asks for a verification code.
