Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Plakar Control Plane account. After entering your password during login, you’ll also need to provide a time-based one-time password (TOTP) generated by an authenticator application.

Plakar Control Plane supports any authenticator application that implements the TOTP standard.

Two-factor authentication can be enabled from the Account page. Scan the QR code with your preferred authenticator application, or manually enter the setup key if you cannot scan the code.

After two-factor authentication is enabled, Plakar Control Plane generates a set of recovery codes. Store these in a secure location. Each code can be used once to sign in if you lose access to your authenticator application.

After entering your email address and password, Plakar Control Plane prompts for the current verification code from your authenticator application. If the application is unavailable, you can sign in using one of your unused recovery codes instead.

To disable two-factor authentication, return to Account, select Disable, and confirm the action with a valid verification code from your authenticator application or one of your unused recovery codes.
