Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Suggest Edits

In accordance with GDPR, we’ve added an additional layer of security to protect your account - multi-factor authentication. In Settings, turn on MFA once, and log in to your account with a one-time password available for you only. The procedure takes no more than 4 minutes.

  1. In your account settings, go to Your organization → My Profile
Go to your profile
  1. Go to Multi-Factor Authentication → Enable MFA

To disable the MFA, contact support@esputnik.com from the email that is the login in your account.

  • If you can't scan the QR code, use a link to its text version.
  • Time on both desktop and smartphone should be synchronized. Go to Settings → Time & Language and enable Set time automatically.
  • You can use Google Authenticator for Google Chrome. In this case you’ll be able to log in only from the device with the installed extension, or you will have to configure data synchronization for all devices.
  • When changing a smartphone, move Google Authenticator to a new device: go to the Authenticator app and click Change Phone. This will move all your accounts to a new phone. You can also contact our support to temporarily disable MFA and authorize on a new smartphone.
