Managing InVision V7 two-factor authentication (2FA) for yourself V7

Enhance your InVision authentication security by implementing two-factor authentication (2FA), including 2FA via authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, or any other app that uses a time-based, one-time password algorithm.

Enabling 2FA for yourself

When setting up 2FA for your individual InVision account, you can choose to use an authentication app (like Google Authenticator or Authy) or SMS to obtain 2FA codes.

5. Open your preferred authentication app.
6. On the Configure Two-Factor Authentication page in InVision, follow the steps and click Verify.
7. After saving your recovery codes, click Done.
   

   

After completing the steps above, InVision will prompt you to provide the 2FA code generated by your app each time you sign in.
