How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

14 Apr 2025

In today’s digital world, protecting your personal data is more important than ever. To add an extra layer of security to your account on nimlab.eu, you can now enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Follow these simple steps to set it up on your own.

1. Log in to Your Account

First, go to your account dashboard. You can log in using your usual method—email and password—or via social login options like Apple, Google, and others. Make sure you have secure access to your account.

2. Navigate to 2FA Settings

Once logged in, look to the right side of your dashboard homepage. There, you’ll find a section dedicated to two-factor authentication management. This is where the 2FA setup begins.

3. Activating 2FA

Click the appropriate section to open the setup window. You’ll be offered two methods to activate 2FA:

Scan a QR Code: If you already have an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or another), simply open the app and scan the QR code that appears. This is the quickest method.
Enter a Secret Key Manually: Prefer typing? No problem. Choose this option to receive a unique secret key. Enter it manually into your authenticator app.

Once configured, your app will start generating six-digit codes that refresh every few seconds.

4. Confirming the Setup

To finalize 2FA activation, enter the current six-digit code from your authenticator app into the field provided on the website. If the code is correct, the system will confirm that 2FA has been successfully enabled. From now on, during each login—whether by email/password or social login—you will be prompted to enter the code from your app.

5. How to Disable 2FA

If you ever need to disable two-factor authentication, follow these steps:

Log in: Access your account as usual.
Go to 2FA Management: Locate the 2FA management block on the right side of the dashboard and click the "Disable 2FA" button.
Confirm Deactivation: Enter the current six-digit code from your authenticator app. After successful verification, 2FA will be turned off, and you won’t be required to enter a code during your next login.

Enabling two-factor authentication is a simple yet effective way to enhance the security of your account. We hope this guide helps you complete the process with ease. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact our support team.
