Enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) for your reception account

To improve the security of your essentry user account, we recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA).
When 2FA is active, you must enter a one-time code from an authenticator app in addition to your password when logging in.

Prerequisites

  • An authenticator app installed on your smartphone
    • Recommended: Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator
