Managing 2FA

If you feel the need to secure your account with two-factor authentication (2FA), you can enable this in your account settings in the Avant Dashboard.

Always keep your 2FA code backed up.

There is no way to circumvent 2FA on your account, so misplacing your code will mean you are locked out of your Avant account.

If you have trouble with this, contact us here.

Before starting

Ensure you have a 2FA application available. We recommend Google Authenticator, however similar apps are also compatible.

Enabling 2FA

1. Navigate to the Account page in the Avant dashboard.

2. Under Security, select "Manage two-factor authentication".

3. Read through the disclaimer, then select "Get started" to continue.

4. Install your authenticator app of choice.

5. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, and follow its steps to setup your rolling 2FA code.

6. Enter the 2FA code generated by your authenticator app to ensure everything is working as intended.

Two-factor authentication has now been enabled! You will need to enter this 2FA code wherever you sign in with your Avant ID.

Disabling 2FA

If you think that 2FA is not right for you, you can disable it in the Avant dashboard.

1. Navigate to the Account page in the Avant dashboard.
2. Under Security, select "Manage two-factor authentication".

3. Select "Turn it off" on the pop-up.

4. Delete the rolling 2FA code from your authenticator app of choice.
