Kingsley Media helps you keep your account secure by offering two-factor authentication.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is not required, but we recommend enabling it for added security. In order to utilize 2FA, you'll need to install Google Authenticator or a similar 2FA app on your mobile device.
Once you've installed Google Authenticator, click the gear in the top right corner of your account to view the drop-down menu and then select My Account.
From there, click 2-Step Authentication.
You'll be prompted to enter your current Kingsley Media password. Once you've done so, click the Enable 2-Step Authentication button.
The next screen will have a QR code which you can scan into the Google Authenticator app on your phone.
Open Google Authenticator on your device and press the red + at the bottom right corner. Then, click Scan a barcode.
The Google Authenticator app will display a red square with crosshairs. Center the QR code in the square and the app will automatically scan it.
Once added to Google Authenticator, enter into your account the six-digit code you are shown in Google Authenticator, then click Register Device.
Note: There is a blue countdown timer to the right of your code. Once that expires, a new code will be displayed. If the current code has almost expired, it's generally best to wait for a fresh code to appear so the first does not time out.
If the registration is successful, you'll see the message "TOTP device registered successfully."
You're all set! Your account now has two-factor authentication enabled.
Important: Save the TOTP key (the string of letters and digits near the QR code in your account**) in a safe place. You can use this to add your account to Google Authenticator on a new phone in case you lose your existing phone.**
Should you wish to disable two-step authentication, click the Disable 2-Step Authentication button on this same page in your account and enter your password when prompted.
