InvoiceOcean gives Users the possibility to activate two-factor authentication (two-step verification) via e-mail. This is definitely a safer way to log in - instead of only one step of authentication (such as entering a password), two steps are required - in this case, entering the verification code available in your email inbox when logging in to your account in InvoiceOcean.

More about two-step verification and its second type you can read in the post Security in InvoiceOcean with two types of two-step verification and choose the one that works best for you.

To use the first type of two-step login and enable the option of e-mail verification:

  • go to the tab with your login name next to the Settings menu
  • select My account
  • press the Edit Profile / Change password button

2FA
 
  • press the Edit button

2FA 2
 
  • select the Active (email) option
  • press the Save button


2FA 3

From that moment during each login, you will be required to enter the verification code sent to your email address, which guarantee the secure use of InvoiceOcean.

2FA 4

You will find the code in the email.

2FA 5

Keep in mind that the email login verification option can only be enabled by those Users who have verified their email address in the system.

To turn off the two-stage verification:

  • go to the tab with your login name next to the Settings menu
  • select My account
  • press the Edit Profile / Change password button
  • press the Edit button
  • select the Disabled option
  •  press the Save button
If, after disabling two-step verification from the profile level, you do not have access to documents, it means that you should also disable two-step verification at the account level: Settings > Account settings > Configuration > Security > Enable obligatory two-step verification.
