Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Catchify account. With 2FA enabled, you need both your password and a time-based verification code from your phone to log in -- so even if someone learns your password, they cannot access your account without your phone.
Why You Should Enable 2FA
Your Catchify portal contains sensitive security information about your organization's vulnerabilities and testing results. Enabling 2FA helps ensure that only authorized people can access this data. We strongly recommend that every team member enable 2FA on their account.
If your organization has a security policy that requires 2FA, your account manager can enforce it for all team members. Contact the Catchify team to learn more.
What You Need
Before you begin, download an authenticator app on your phone. Any of these apps will work:
Google Authenticator
iOS, Android
Microsoft Authenticator
iOS, Android
Authy
iOS, Android, Desktop
Setting Up 2FA
Log in to your account at portal.catchify.sa
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner
Select Settings from the dropdown menu
Find the Two-Factor Authentication section
Click Enable 2FA
A QR code will appear on your screen
Open your authenticator app on your phone
Tap the + button to add a new account
Scan the QR code displayed on your screen
Your authenticator app will now show a 6-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds
Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app into the verification field on the portal
Click Verify and Enable
You will see a confirmation that 2FA has been enabled
Your account is now protected with two-factor authentication. Each time you log in, you will be asked for a code from your authenticator app after entering your password.
Logging In with 2FA
Once 2FA is enabled, your login process will look like this:
Go to portal.catchify.sa and enter your email and password
You will be prompted to enter your 2FA code
Open your authenticator app and find the Catchify entry
Enter the current 6-digit code
Click Verify to complete your login
Lost Access to Your Authenticator App?
If you lose your phone or no longer have access to your authenticator app, you can regain access to your account:
On the 2FA prompt screen, click Need help?
Contact the Catchify support team at [email protected]
After verifying your identity, the Catchify team will reset your 2FA so you can set it up again with a new device
To avoid being locked out, consider setting up your authenticator on a second device or using an authenticator app like Authy that supports cloud backup.
Disabling 2FA
If you need to turn off two-factor authentication (for example, when switching phones):
Go to Settings from your profile menu
In the Two-Factor Authentication section, click Disable 2FA
Enter your current 2FA code to confirm
2FA will be removed from your account
We recommend re-enabling it as soon as you have your new device ready.
