Two Factor Authentication (2FA) allows users to add an additional level of security in order to access their Veem account.
The way it works is simple. When 2FA is enabled on your account, an additional code will be required to log in. Using a Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) or SMS Text Messaging, you will receive a code. Using the access code provided, you'll enter it to access your account.
- Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) is an app-based code to times out after 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, a new code will be generated and you'll need to use that.
- SMS Text Messaging will send you a code straight to your phone for you to use.
Here's how to set up 2FA.
Start by going to the settings of your Veem account and go to the Users tab. There you'll see an option to Require Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). Toggle the switch to activate.
Next, click the blue 2FA Settings. You'll be taken to the Security tab, you'll see a view for 2FA, click Secure my account.
From here, you'll be able to choose how you want your two-factor authentication.
Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP)
- Select TOTP from the options.
- Scan the barcode that shows up with your authenticator app.
- Enter the code provided.
- Click Confirm.
SMS Text Messaging
- Select SMS from the options.
- Enter the mobile number you want to use for 2FA.
- Enter the code provided.

Congratulations, you've set up Two Factor Authentication for your Veem account! This extra layer of security helps prevent potential intruders from gaining access to your account or stealing your personal data or identity. You will now need to provide the code sent to your mobile device each time you log in to your Veem account.
