Enabling and Using 2FA to Secure Your Creator Account

Enabling and Using 2FA to Secure Your Creator Account

Two-factor authentication, also called 2FA, adds an extra layer of security to your Creator account on Addikme. Even if your password is compromised, this protection helps limit unauthorized access to your account, your content, and your information.


What is two-factor authentication?

2FA requires a second verification step in addition to your password when logging in. On Addikme, this verification takes the form of a temporary code sent by email. You must enter this code to complete your login. 2FA, in particular, helps:
  • strengthen the security of your Creator account

  • reduce the risk of unauthorized access

  • better protect your content and your data

💡 Enabling 2FA is strongly recommended to secure your account over the long term.


How do you enable 2FA on Addikme?

To enable two-factor authentication:
  • log into your Creator account

  • go to the Privacy and Security > Security section

  • select the option to enable two-factor authentication

  • follow the on-screen instructions

👉 Once 2FA is enabled, a temporary code will be sent to you by email whenever you log in.


How do you use 2FA day to day?

Once 2FA is enabled, logging into your account happens in two steps:
  • you first enter your email address and password

  • you then receive a temporary code by email

  • you enter this code to complete your login

Depending on how your account works, it may be possible to remember a trusted device to simplify future logins. 🔐 Never share your verification code with anyone.


What if you don’t receive the code by email?

If you don’t receive the verification code, first check the following:
  • your main inbox

  • your Spam or Junk folder

  • that the email address linked to your account is correct

  • that the message hasn’t been blocked by a mail filter

If needed, wait a few moments and then try again. 💡 Also make sure you can normally access the email address used for your Creator account.


What if you lose access to 2FA?

If you can no longer complete the verification linked to 2FA, for example because you no longer have access to your email address, it’s recommended to contact Addikme support. To help speed up handling your request, prepare:
  • the email address linked to your Creator account

  • useful information to verify your identity

  • a clear explanation of the issue you’re facing

Support will be able to guide you based on your situation.


Best practices for using 2FA securely

To make good use of two-factor authentication:
  • keep your email address secure

  • never share your verification codes

  • use a strong password in addition to 2FA

  • stay alert to any unusual login request

Two-factor authentication is one of the most effective protections for your Creator account on Addikme. By enabling and using it correctly, you significantly strengthen the security of your access and your activity.
