Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security feature that requires you to enter a code from your smartphone in addition to your password when logging in. It adds an extra layer of protection to your account.

2FA is required before you can create non-demo projects. You only need to set it up once — it applies to all your projects.

How to Set Up 2FA

  1. Go to your Profile page (click your name in the top-right menu).
  2. Find the "Two Factor Authentication" section.
  3. Download an authenticator app if you don't have one. We recommend Aegis Authenticator for Android and Raivo Authenticator for iOS. If you already use an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator), you can use that.
  4. Open the authenticator app and scan the QR code shown on the Olivia website.
  5. Enter the 6-digit code that appears in the app into the confirmation field on the Olivia website and click "Confirm".
  6. Save your recovery codes in a safe place. You can use these codes to log in if you lose access to your authenticator app.

That's it! From now on, you will be asked for a code from your authenticator app in addition to your password when logging in.

Recovery Codes

When you enable 2FA, Olivia provides a set of recovery codes. These are one-time-use codes that let you log in if you lose your smartphone or can no longer access your authenticator app.

  • Store your recovery codes somewhere safe (e.g., a password manager or printed copy).
  • Each code can only be used once.
  • You can regenerate recovery codes at any time from your Profile page.

Managing 2FA

From your Profile page you can:

  • Enable 2FA if it is not yet set up.
  • Disable 2FA if you need to turn it off.
  • Regenerate recovery codes if you have used some or want fresh ones.
  • Re-confirm your 2FA setup by scanning a new QR code.
