Overview

Bolstering security through two-factor authentication (2FA) in Glide is a smart move to protect your account. This involves activating 2FA in your Glide account settings and connecting it to an authentication app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy. By adding this step, each time you log in, you'll need to enter an extra verification code from your chosen app, on top of your regular password. Following these steps prevents unwanted intrusions, ensuring only you can access your Glide projects.

How to set up two-factor authentication in Glide?

Step 1: Access Glide Settings

  • Open your Glide app and head over to the Dashboard.
  • Click on your profile picture or the user icon at the top right corner.
  • From the dropdown menu, pick Settings.

Step 2: Navigate to Security

  • In the Settings menu, find and click on the Security tab.
  • Inside the Security tab, look for the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) section.

Step 3: Enable Two-Factor Authentication

  • Toggle the switch or click the button to turn on Two-Factor Authentication.
  • A prompt will pop up asking you to set up 2FA.

Step 4: Choose Your 2FA Method

  • You'll see a few options to choose from, like:
  • Authenticator App (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy)
  • SMS for text message codes
  • Pick your preferred 2FA method and follow the specific instructions.

Step 5: Configure Your Chosen Method

  • If using an Authenticator App:

  • A QR code will show up on the screen.

  • Open your authenticator app on your phone.

  • Scan the QR code with the app.

  • Enter the verification code generated by the app into the prompt on Glide.

  • If using SMS:

  • Enter your mobile phone number.

  • A verification code will be sent to your phone via SMS.

  • Enter this code into the prompt on Glide.

Step 6: Confirm and Save Settings

  • After entering the verification code, click Confirm or Verify.
  • A confirmation message will let you know that 2FA is successfully enabled.
  • Save any changes if prompted.

Step 7: Backup Codes (Optional but Recommended)

  • Glide might offer backup codes for emergency access to your account.
  • Save these backup codes in a secure place.
  • These codes can be a lifesaver if you lose access to your primary 2FA method.

Step 8: Verify 2FA is Active

  • Log out of your Glide account.
  • Try to log back in. You should be asked to enter a 2FA code.
  • Check that the method you set up (Authenticator App or SMS) is working correctly.

Step 9: Update Recovery Information

  • Go back to Settings > Security.
  • Make sure your recovery information (like email and phone number) is up to date in case you need to recover your account.

Step 10: Regularly Review Security Settings

  • Periodically check your security settings to make sure everything is in order.
  • Update any information as needed to keep your account secure.

Following these steps will help to secure your Glide app using two-factor authentication.
