In this guide we will be explaining how to add 2FA to your account in case there are unwanted logins, we recommend adding 2FA to your account as an extra layer of security.

In case you don't have a 2FA app yet, we can recommend the following apps:

• https://github.com/ente-io/auth
• https://getaegis.app

1. Click the Cog icon on the top right of your SMSPool dashboard. Or visit the URL below:

https://www.smspool.net/my/settings

2.  Click Account Settings

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Enable 2FA button

4. Scan the QR code or copy the secret into your Two-Factor-Authentication app (2FA)

Use any 2FA app you prefer such as Aegis, or even Authy (beware of cloud back-ups)

5. Copy the code from your Two-Factor-Authentication App and input it into SMSPool

This is required to validate that the scan was successful

6. Once enabled you should get a green bar showing up on your screen that says 2FA has been added successfully; make sure you safely store the recovery code our site gives you.

We cannot recover your account without the recovery code.

Congratulations, you have successfully added 2FA, and your account is now extra secure.
