Revver offers two methods of two factor authentication designed to help you secure your account. This guide will cover what they do and how you, the user, can utilize them. Through two factor authentication, you can receive a one-time six digit pass-code that can be used alongside your normal login credentials to increase the level of security on your Revver account.

Two factor authentication (2FA) can be set up two ways:

When logged in to Revver, you can enable 2FA on your account at the user level by performing the following steps:

At the user level, two factor authentication is managed from your settings page, or 'My Settings'. This can be accessed by clicking on the 'All Features' option on the left and selecting 'My Settings' under the 'Account Column'.

In the page that follows, ensure you are in the ‘User Settings’ tab. Here, you can check the box that says ‘Enable Two Factor Authentication’.

Three options will be available for you to choose from after you enable it: Mobile Authenticator App, Email Token, or 'Either'. We will be discussing what each of these mean later on in this guide.

After your authentication options are listed, there is a drop down menu labeled: ‘Require Two Factor Authentication Every’ here, you can choose how often you would like two factor authentication to be required.

Security policies are an optional security feature that allows you to require users to adhere to certain requirements in order to access their Revver account.

For information on how to create a security policy, and for more information about what they offer, please see the following guide.

Security policies can be configured to require 2FA and offers the same options as it does at the user level, allowing you to mandate which authentication options your users have access to when using two factor authentication.

Whether it's through a security policy or set up on an individual user through their own user settings, the options available to you are the same.

The mobile authenticator app option for two factor authentication gives you the ability to generate the six digit pass-code directly from your smartphone through the use of an 'authenticator app'.

Requirements:

When you log in for the first time after setting up 2FA on your account, you will receive a QR code in your email inbox. Once received, use the 'Scan QR Code' option in your authenticator app on your smartphone to scan it.

Once scanned, this will create a profile within the authenticator app that will begin generating six digit pass-codes for you to use when logging in to Revver.

The email token takes away the need to use your smartphone for logging in and instead sends a single-use six digit pass-code to your email inbox directly.

This six-digit code you receive in your inbox has a 10 minute expiration, and can only be used once. You will receive a new one every time you attempt to log in, and the most recent received code must be used when logging in.

The 'Either' setting in your two factor authentication app allows you to use both, giving you some flexibility when logging in.

When logging in, you will receive both a QR code and an email token in your inbox, and the codes from either can be used when logging in.
