Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your HardSurfacesInc.com profile. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to activate 2FA and protect your account from unauthorized access.
Why Enable Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-factor authentication requires you to provide two forms of verification before accessing your account. Typically, this involves your password and a secondary code sent to your mobile device. Enabling 2FA helps prevent hackers from gaining access, even if they have your password.

- Log in to your HardSurfacesInc.com account.
- Navigate to your profile settings by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Security Settings from the dropdown menu.
- Find the section labeled Two-Factor Authentication.
- Click the Enable button.
- Choose your preferred method of authentication:
- Authentication App (recommended)
- SMS Text Message
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your chosen method. For authentication apps, scan the QR code with your app (e.g., Google Authenticator).
- Enter the verification code generated by your app or received via SMS to confirm setup.
- Save your settings to activate 2FA.
Tips for Using 2FA Effectively
Keep your authentication device or app secure. If using an app, make sure it is backed up or linked to your account. In case you lose access to your 2FA method, contact HardSurfacesInc.com support for assistance.
