Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication adds a second verification step when signing in to SSH Bridge. It helps protect account access even if a password is guessed, reused, or exposed somewhere else.
How 2FA Works
After enabling 2FA, SSH Bridge asks for a one-time code from your authenticator app during sign-in. The code changes regularly and must match the secret stored on your device.
Authenticator Apps
Use a standard authenticator app that supports time-based one-time passwords. Common options include Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, Bitwarden, Authy, and similar apps.
Setup Checklist
- Open account security settings.
- Start the two-factor authentication setup flow.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.
- Enter the current one-time code to confirm setup.
- Store any recovery guidance or backup codes in a safe place if they are provided.
Recovery Planning
Before enforcing 2FA for important accounts, make sure owners and admins understand the recovery process. Losing access to the authenticator app can block sign-in until the account is recovered.
Team Security
2FA protects each user's SSH Bridge account. For company access, combine it with SSO, verified domains, team roles, audit logs, and device session reviews.
