Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your GARMTECH.Email login. After enabling 2FA, signing in requires your password and a one-time code from an authenticator app.
Before you start
- Install an authenticator app on your phone (for example, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or any TOTP-compatible app).
- Make sure you can sign in to GARMTECH.Email with your current password.
Enable 2FA in GARMTECH.Email
- Sign in to GARMTECH.Email.
- Open Settings.
- Go to Security (or Two-Factor Authentication).
- Click Enable.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app and enter the generated code to confirm.
- Save backup/recovery codes if they are shown. Store them in a safe place.
How it affects email apps (IMAP/SMTP)
- 2FA primarily protects the web login to GARMTECH.Email.
- If your interface provides an app password feature, use it for email apps that cannot enter 2FA codes.
If you lose access to your authenticator
- Use your saved recovery codes (if available).
- If you do not have recovery codes, you will need to request a 2FA reset via a support ticket. (/tickets/create/step1)
