What Is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Why Does Sonikit Use It?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Sonikit account. In addition to your password, you’ll be asked to enter a temporary verification code when signing in.

This helps protect your account—even if someone else knows your password.

What is Two-Factor Authentication?

Two-factor authentication requires two forms of verification:

  1. Something you know — your password

  2. Something you have — a temporary code from your phone or authenticator app

Without both, access to your account is denied.

Why Sonikit Uses 2FA

Sonikit accounts often contain:

  • Fan contact data

  • SMS and email messaging tools

  • Analytics and campaign performance

  • Billing and subscription information

2FA helps prevent:

  • Unauthorized logins

  • Account takeovers

  • Abuse of messaging credits

  • Access to sensitive fan data

When You’ll Be Asked for a 2FA Code

After enabling 2FA, Sonikit will prompt you for a verification code when:

  • Signing in from a new device or browser

  • Logging in after clearing cookies

  • Completing sensitive account actions

2FA Methods Supported by Sonikit

Sonikit supports two primary verification methods:

  • Authenticator App (recommended)
    Generates secure, time-based codes on your device.

  • SMS Verification
    Sends a one-time code to your phone number.

You’ll choose one as your primary method, and you can change it later.

What Are Recovery Codes?

Recovery codes are one-time backup codes generated when you enable 2FA. They allow you to sign in if you lose access to your phone or authenticator app.

👉 Important: Recovery codes are shown only once and should be stored securely.
