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.

Logging In with 2FA

Once 2FA is enabled, your login process will look like this:

  3. Open your authenticator app and find the Catchify entry

  4. Enter the current 6-digit code

  5. 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:

  1. On the 2FA prompt screen, click Need help?

  2. Contact the Catchify support team at [email protected]

  3. 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):

  1. Go to Settings from your profile menu

  2. In the Two-Factor Authentication section, click Disable 2FA

  3. Enter your current 2FA code to confirm

  4. 2FA will be removed from your account

We recommend re-enabling it as soon as you have your new device ready.
