At VeryPDF, we take account security seriously. To give our users an extra layer of protection, your account now supports two-factor authentication (2FA). Enabling 2FA ensures that even if someone obtains your password, they cannot access your account without a second verification step.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to enable and manage two-factor authentication from your account:
Step 1: Log in to Your Account
Start by logging in to your VeryPDF DRM Protector account as usual. Once logged in, navigate to your Profile section, where 2FA options are available.
Step 2: Choose Your Two-Factor Authentication Method
You can select from several secure 2FA methods:
- Authenticator App (TOTP): Use apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or any app that supports TOTP codes.
- Email Verification: Receive a one-time code directly in your registered email.
- Passkeys (Optional): For passwordless login, you can use a supported device key.
Simply choose the method that works best for you. For most users, an authenticator app is the fastest and most secure option.
Step 3: Set Up Your 2FA Method
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your chosen method:
- Authenticator App: Scan the QR code displayed on the screen with your app. Then enter the verification code generated by the app to confirm the setup.
- Email Verification: Enter the code sent to your registered email address.
- Passkeys: Follow the prompts to register your device securely.
The setup process is guided and requires no technical knowledge.
Step 4: Save Your Backup Codes
During setup, you will be provided with backup codes. These are 16-digit codes that you can use to access your account if you lose access to your 2FA device.
Important: Save these codes in a secure location. They are your safety net in case of device loss or change.
Step 5: Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Once your method is successfully configured and verified, click Enable Two-Factor Authentication to activate it on your account. From this moment on, each time you log in, you will be prompted for your chosen 2FA verification code in addition to your password.
Step 6: Manage Your 2FA Settings
You have full control over your two-factor authentication settings. From your account:
- Disable 2FA: If you ever need to temporarily turn it off, you can do so securely.
- Change 2FA Method: Switch between authenticator apps, email verification, or passkeys at any time.
- View Backup Codes: Access your backup codes whenever necessary.
