How to enable 2-step verification for your users in Bókun

Use Google Authenticator to add an extra layer of security to your Bókun account.

For added security we highly recommend that you add 2-Step Verification to your account. Think of it as an extra layer of security in addition to your password.

 

How do I enable 2-step verification in my Bókun account?

1. Download and install the Google Authenticator mobile app to your device. (Available both in App store and Play store)

2. In Bókun, navigate to the bottom right corner and select your name then user settings.

In your user settings, click on the blue button that says Enable 2-Step Verification for added security.
