How to setup 2FA and why it's important

Protect your account, orders, and seller payouts by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with an authenticator app.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds a vital extra layer of security to your Flear.ch account by requiring a time-based code from an authenticator app whenever you log in or make sensitive account changes.

Why 2FA is Important for You

  • Protects seller payouts and banking credentials from unauthorized access.
  • Prevents account takeover attempts if your password is compromised elsewhere.
  • Secures sensitive buyer & seller escrow transactions.
  • Increases your trust standing across the marketplace.

1 How to Enable 2FA on Your Account

  1. Navigate to your Account Security Settings .
  2. Under Two-Factor Authentication, click "Enable 2FA".
  3. Open your preferred authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Bitwarden, Authy, or Apple Keychain).
  4. Scan the QR code displayed on the screen or manually enter the setup key.
  5. Enter the 6-digit confirmation code generated by your app to verify setup.

2 Save Your Emergency Recovery Codes

Once 2FA is activated, emergency recovery codes will be generated. Keep these codes in a safe place. If you lose access to your phone or authenticator app, a recovery code is the only way to recover account access.
