Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your GivingFuel account. When two-factor authentication is enabled, a unique code is generated in an authenticator app or sent to your phone that you would enter in order to login in addition to your username and password.
WARNING: For security reasons, we are unable to reset your Two-Factor Authentication if you lose your recovery codes. If you lose your recovery codes to login you would need to sign up to get a user invite under a different email address.

Download an application on your phone to get two-factor authentication codes when prompted upon logging in. We recommend using an app such as Authy, 1Password or LastPass Authenticator.
