As a payment service provider, Payrexx is subject to international anti-money laundering laws, which are continuously being tightened. Additionally, we strive to meet the highest security standards to ensure the safety of payments and sensitive data of our merchants.
2-factor authentication (2FA) is a security feature that enhances the security of your user account. To log in to an account, two different types of identity verification are required – usually a combination of something you know (e.g., a password) and something you have (e.g., a smartphone). By enabling two-factor authentication, your account is protected against unauthorized access, and you maximize the security of your sensitive data.
Enabling 2-factor authentication in Payrexx involves three steps:
Log in to your Payrexx account and click the arrow next to your email address in the top left to open the "Account" page:
Next, click on "Add 2FA method" and choose which type of 2-factor authentication you would like to set up. There are three different types available:
Authenticator App: You will receive a 6-digit code in your authenticator app on your smartphone (e.g., Google Authenticator) when logging in.
SMS: You will receive a 6-digit code via SMS when logging in.
Email: You will receive a 6-digit code via email when logging in.
Follow the on-screen instructions. The steps vary depending on the method you have chosen:
Authenticator App: Scan the displayed QR code.
SMS: Enter your mobile number.
Email: Enter your email address.
Your account is now protected by two-factor authentication.
If your account has administrator rights, you can enforce 2-factor authentication for your team, i.e., for all other user accounts in Payrexx.
To do this, navigate to Settings > User Administration and enable the corresponding toggle:
