Account security
2-step verification
Optional extra protection: your password plus a code from your phone. Even if someone learns your password, they can't get into your account.
How to add an authenticator app
An authenticator app makes a new 6-digit code every 30 seconds. When you sign in, the Hub asks for your password and the code. Someone who steals your password still can't get in without your phone. It's optional, but we strongly recommend it, especially if you hold coins or use the wallet.
1. Install an app on your phone
Pick one. They all work the same way.
Google AuthenticatorSimple, free. Turn on Google backup so a new phone gets your codes.iPhone (App Store)Android (Google Play)
Microsoft AuthenticatorFree. Backs up to your Microsoft or iCloud account.iPhone (App Store)Android (Google Play)
2FASFree and open source, no account needed.iPhone (App Store)Android (Google Play)
2. Add AUTISTIK Hub to the app
- On a computer: open the app on your phone, tap + (or Add account), choose Scan a QR code, and point the camera at the square code on this page.
- On your phone: tap Open in my authenticator app. If nothing happens, tap Copy the key, then in the app choose Enter a setup key and paste it. Name it AUTISTIK Hub and choose Time based.
3. Type the code to finish
The app now shows AUTISTIK Hub with a 6-digit number. Type that number into the box on this page and press Turn it on. That's it.
Each time you sign in
Enter your email and password as usual. Then open the app and type the 6-digit code it shows for AUTISTIK Hub.
If something goes wrong
- "That code didn't work": codes only last 30 seconds, so type the newest one. Check your phone's date and time are set to automatic.
- New phone: turn on the app's backup before you switch, or add a second authenticator (a tablet or second phone) on the Account security page.
- Lost your phone with no backup: email team@autistik.io from your account's email address. We check it's really you before resetting it, which can take a few days.
- We will never ask you for your code by message, email or phone call. Anyone who asks is trying to break into your account.
