2FA (two-factor authentication) is a way to increase account security by requiring users to provide a second layer of authentication in addition to their password when logging in. Currently we support verification codes generated by Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator.

Enable 2FA can greatly enhance the security of your account. It provides an extra layer of security, ensuring that even if your password is compromised, hackers can't easily break into your AtomGit account.

What is a 2FA recovery code

2FA recovery codes are a set of emergency-use verification codes used as an alternative to login verification when you are unable to receive a normal two-step verification verification code. These recovery codes are one-time, long string security codes that can only be used once per verification code. When you can't receive a verification code on your two-step verification device (such as your phone), you can use one of these recovery codes to complete your sign in.

If you used a recovery code to log in, it is recommended to re-enable a new two-step verification device after logging in to maintain the security of your account.

Verify by 2FA recovery code

If you are unable to receive a 2FA verification code, you can follow these steps to log in using a 2FA recovery code:

1. Click Log in with recovery code on the login page
2. Enter your account information and recovery code
3. The system will verify the validity of the recovery code. If correct, you will be allowed to log in.

Please keep your 2FA recovery code properly to avoid leakage and loss.
