We have now released two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your GivePanel account.
​

How To Use GivePanel's Two-Factor Authentication Update

You can set up two-factor authentication in a few simple steps:

  1. An admin of your GivePanel account will need to head to the '"Account Settings'' tab (accessed by clicking on your nonprofit name in the top right of your account and then selecting ''Account Settings'').

  2. An ''overview page'' will open up and over on the right, there is a section titled ''two-factor authentication''.​

  3. Select ''Enable two-factor authentication for all users''

  4. Once selected, all users will see the below screen when they next go to log in. Users will need to enter their phone number (or click "Do this Later" to go to your GivePanel home page):

If they enter a phone number, they will receive a code via SMS. They will need to input the code from the text that they receive and click "Continue".

2FA is now active. Now when you log in, you will be asked to add in the code sent to you via SMS.

What If I Want To Edit The Phone Number Being Used For Two-Factor Authentication?

Navigate to your GivePanel "Account Settings" and then click "Users".

Scroll down to your user and select it. Here you will see the option to ''Change 2FA Settings''. Once clicked, you will be given the option to change the phone number.
