Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)¶
Do not uninstall the Google Authenticator app before disabling 2FA for your account. You’ll need the OTP code from the app to disable it.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) allows you to add an extra level of security to your account. Besides using your login and password, enabling 2FA requires you to enter a one-time password code every time you log into your account. The code is automatically generated by an application on your phone.
Way 1. Using the QR code.
Before you begin, download an authenticator application on your phone. We recommend Google Authenticator for both Android and iOS users.

- Enter the OTP (One-Time Password) code from the Google Authenticator app into the "OTP" field in the VNClagoon LIVE platform.
- Click Enable to activate 2FA.
You’ll see a confirmation message:
2 Factor Authentification is successfully enabled
Once 2FA is enabled, you’ll need to enter a one-time password (OTP) from your authenticator app every time you log in, after entering your username and password.
Way 2. Using a setup key.
- Follow steps 1–3 from Way 1 to access your account settings.
