Overview

Setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Xano boosts your app’s security by adding an extra verification step. Instead of just a username and password, you'll need a second authentication method. Often, this means a one-time password (OTP) sent by SMS or made by an authenticator app. This guide will show you how to turn on and handle MFA for your Xano project, making sure only the right people access your secured resources. Before diving in, double-check that you have admin rights and the necessary permissions on your Xano account.

How to configure multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Xano?

Step 1: Log in to Your Xano Account

  • Head over to the Xano website and log in with your username and password. Easy peasy.

Step 2: Access the Security Settings

  • Once you're in, go to the dashboard.
  • Click on your profile icon or account settings in the top right corner.
  • From the dropdown menu, pick “Security Settings”.

Step 3: Enable Multi-Factor Authentication

  • Look for the section called "Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)".
  • Flip the switch or hit the "Enable" button to kick off the MFA setup.

Step 4: Choose Your MFA Method

  • You'll have options like an authenticator app, SMS, or email.
  • For better security, go with an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy. Trust me, it's worth it.

Step 5: Set Up an Authenticator App

  • If you opt for an authenticator app, a QR code will pop up on the screen.
  • Open your authenticator app on your phone.
  • Use the app to scan the QR code on the Xano interface.
  • The app will then generate a 6-digit code.

Step 6: Verify the Setup

  • Enter the 6-digit code from the authenticator app into the field on the Xano interface for verification.
  • Click "Verify" or "Continue". Almost there!

Step 7: Backup Codes

  • Xano will give you backup codes as a safety net.
  • Store these codes securely. They can save the day if you lose access to your authenticator app.

Step 8: Complete the Setup

  • Once everything is verified, you'll see a confirmation message saying MFA is enabled.
  • You might also get an email confirming that MFA is now active on your account.

Step 9: Test the MFA Setup

  • Log out of your Xano account.
  • Try logging back in to make sure the MFA is working right.
  • When asked for the second factor of authentication, open your authenticator app and enter the 6-digit code.

Step 10: Adjust MFA Settings (Optional)

  • Go back to “Security Settings” if you need to update your MFA method or turn off the feature.
  • Confirm any changes to keep your account secure.

This step-by-step guide helps you set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Xano, making your account more secure.
