How do I turn on two-factor authentication?

In short

Optional two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app, on every plan: Free, Solo, the trial, Family, and your own server.

Turn it on

  1. Open Profile → Security → Two-factor authentication and choose Enable.

  2. Scan with your authenticator app, or enter the key shown.

  3. Enter the 6-digit code from the app and tap Confirm.

  4. Save the Recovery codes. Each code works once, in case you don't have the app. Keep the codes offline and confirm with I have saved these codes.

When you sign in

After the normal sign-in, Westara asks for your Authenticator code. If you don't have your phone, choose Use a recovery code instead.

Manage

  • New recovery codes creates a fresh set. The old ones stop working.
  • Disable turns two-factor authentication off. You need an authenticator or recovery code to do this.

On Free and Solo

You'll see a note that two-factor authentication is part of the Family plan.

In the app

  • Profile

You’ll find these areas in Westara after signing in.
