Since Montonio is operating in a regulated environment, there are some additional security requirements that we have to account for in our Partner System. For instance, when you're going to view (or re-generate your API keys) or when you're going to do a refund for the first time.

It means that logging in with just a username and password is not considered secure enough and there needs to be additional layers of security. Your mobile device provides that security. Your phone gives you a secondary layer of protection in case your username and password are stolen.

There are two options for two-factor authentication in the Partner System. You can choose which option is better for you.

1. Whenever the Partner System requires enabling two-factor authentication, you will see a window, where you can choose one of the authentication methods.

2. Choose SMS authentication.

3. Enter your phone number and confirm --> You will get a 6-digit code via SMS.

4. If you didn't get the SMS, you can resend it.

5. Enter the code, once you have received it.

1. Download any authentication app from Google Play or Apple App Store. For instance, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, LastPass, Authy, etc

2. Whenever the Partner System requires enabling two-factor authentication, just open your app authenticator and scan the QR code. That registers Montonio Partner System as an account in your app.

And there you go, you have successfully enabled and used App authentification.
