Motimate: How to setup Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Motimate Web Admin?
2FA is designed to prevent unauthorised users from gaining access to an account. This guide shows you how an admin user can set up MFA for their Web Admin account.
- Log into your Web Admin, and you will get prompted to set up 2-factor authentication.
- Click on Set up two-factor authentication.
- Follow the instructions provided:
- Save the Recovery Codes:
Next time you log into Web Admin, you need to open your Authenticator app and write in the 6-digit code. This code will be different every time:
Once a user decided to have this feature ON, it will stay ON until the user will deactivate it by himself. Motimate support has received some requests from customers to disable it, but this will not be done -we will not deactivate 2FA for our users. Therefore it is very important that you download a 2FA app, and save the recovery codes!
The most important 2 things are:
- Install an OTP-compatible app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy) in your smartphone.
- Save the backup codes which are shown during the 2FA activation process
- Install an OTP-compatible app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy) in your smartphone.

Is there a specific reason for having only admin staff have 2FA and not everyone?
If there isn't then this is a waste of time, just make it for everyone please.
