The purpose of this guide is to provide users with instructions on how to use the My Safe id app to protect their accounts in online services through multi-factor authentication.
Multi-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security to services and web applications through a token (electronic key) created by the My Safe id app. This token must be entered on the login page of the service so that access to the account is released.
Assuming that only the user has access to the device - and therefore to the token - malicious attacks will be blocked and, even if they have the user’s login and password, they will not have the code generated by My Safe id. In addition, to prevent a token from being reused, the code is automatically replaced every 30 seconds.
The My Safe id app for iPhone can be downloaded from the App Store and for Android smartphones from the Google Play Store.
There are two ways to add the service or web application account to My Safe id: by scanning a code (QR code) or manually entering the access key.
