Overview

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second factor during sign-in.

Recommendation

Enable MFA for all partner accounts that manage:
  • Customer access
  • Domains
  • API keys
  • Billing (especially Stripe)
If you connect Stripe, we strongly recommend enabling MFA.

How to set up

  1. In the Partner Portal, go to SettingsProfile Settings.
  2. Find the Security section (password, MFA, passkeys).
  3. Click Enable MFA.
  4. Scan the QR code using an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).
  5. Save your backup codes.
Your password, MFA, and passkey controls all live together under Settings → Profile Settings.

Signing in with MFA

Once MFA is on, signing in shows a Two-Factor Authentication step after your email and password. You can verify in one of three ways — switch between them using the tabs at the top of the window.

Authenticator app

Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app. This is the default method.

Email code

Prefer a code by email? Switch to the Email tab and click Send Email Code — we’ll email you a verification code to enter.

Backup code

Lost access to your authenticator and email? Switch to the Backup Code tab and enter one of your 8-character backup codes. Each code works once.

Backup codes

Backup codes are a fallback if you lose access to your authenticator app. In SettingsProfile Settings, you can generate and download new backup codes.

Can I disable MFA?

You can disable MFA in SettingsProfile Settings in some cases. If Stripe Connect is enabled for your account, MFA may be required (and cannot be disabled while Stripe Connect is active — see the Stripe Connect doc).

What the Security section looks like

Under Settings → Profile Settings, scroll to Security Settings. This is where your password, MFA, and backup codes live.

  • Authenticator App — the second factor generated by your authenticator app.
  • Backup Codes — one-time codes to use if you lose your authenticator. Use Regenerate to create a fresh set.
  • If Stripe Connect is active, MFA stays on and can’t be disabled.
