Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Add a second factor to your SoundBase account with any TOTP authenticator app — and know what to do if you lose the device.

With 2FA on, signing in needs your password and a six-digit code from your phone, so a leaked password alone can’t reach your projects.

Note

SoundBase supports authenticator apps only (TOTP) — Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, Microsoft Authenticator, or any equivalent. There’s no SMS or email option.

Turn on 2FA

1. Install an authenticator app on your phone if you don’t have one.
2. In SoundBase (browser), open the user menu → My Settings… → Security.
3. In the Two-factor authentication block, click Enable.
4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.
5. Enter the six-digit code the app shows, then click Save.

The block now shows a Configured badge.

Signing in with 2FA

After your email and password, SoundBase asks for the Authentication code. Open your authenticator app and type the current six digits — the form submits automatically as soon as the sixth digit lands.

Turning 2FA off

In the same block, click Disable and confirm with a current code from your app. (Requiring a valid code to disable is deliberate — someone with only your password can’t strip the second factor.)

Caution

SoundBase does not issue backup or recovery codes. If you lose access to your authenticator app, you cannot get in on your own — contact support@soundbase.app to recover the account.

Protect yourself before that happens: use an authenticator that syncs or backs up across devices, or add the SoundBase account to a second device while you’re setting it up.
