  • Email where a code will be sent to our email address or,
  • Recovery code that was presented on-screen before configuring MFA.

Once multi-factor authentication is activated, it must be used to sign in. To switch it off, we use it to sign in before unticking the option on the My Details page. Alternatively contact 2ic Software support to switch it off.
