Fingercheck offers an additional security measure called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) that requires anyone attempting to log in to their account from an unrecognized device to access their email and retrieve a security code to log in.


Enable 2FA for all employees

You can require all employees to set up Two-Factor Authentication by enabling this feature from your Default Settings.

  1. Login to Fingercheck as an Administrator.

  2. Go to the SETUP tab > Company > Default Settings.

  3. Scroll down to the checkbox for Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Employees.

  4. Click the checkbox to enable.

  5. Click Save.


Set up 2FA for your account

This procedure is similar for employee accounts.

  1. Log in to Fingercheck.

  2. Hover over the Dashboard Profile icon in the top-left corner, and select Account & Preferences.

  3. In the Account & Preferences pop-up window, make sure that your email address is correct in the Email field.
    If you need to update it, click the Edit icon (pencil), and make the change.

  4. Turn on the Two-Factor Authentication toggle.

    A code is sent to the email on file in the Fingercheck system.

  5. In the next pop-up window, enter the code you receive in your email.

  6. Click Continue.

  7. Click Save.
