Secure your account with two-factor authentication

In today’s digital world, having just a strong password isn’t enough. We strongly encourage you to enable a second layer of security—two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA). After entering your username and password, 2FA will require a code from your device to complete the login.

What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Gameflip?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), is an extra layer of account security on Gameflip. Once enabled, logging into your account requires both your password and a unique 6-digit security code generated by your mobile device or authenticator app.

Key 2FA Details

• Supported Methods: Authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy), the Gameflip Mobile App, or SMS.
• Maximum Limits: You can link up to 5 authentication options to a single Gameflip account.
• Requirement: A verified phone number must be linked to your account to enable 2FA.

How to set up a second authentication factor on Gameflip

Whether you use Gameflip through the app or the website, follow the steps outlined below to set up 2FA on your account:

1. Go to Menu > Settings > Authentication by clicking your profile picture. Select your preferred authentication method and click the “+” or enable button.
2. Enter the name of your authenticator app (for example, Google Authenticator) and click on “Generate QR Code.”
3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, then click “I’ve scanned the QR code.”
4. Enter the 6-digit security code generated by the app into the blank spaces and click “Finish.”
5. You’ve now verified the new authentication method. Your account can support up to five authentication options.

• iOS: Menu > Settings > Security Code
   

• You can tap on the authentication options to enable or disable them.
