When two-factor authentication (2FA) is turned on, you will receive a 6-digit code via email that you need to enter when you log in to Checkin. 

How to enable two-factor authentication (2FA)?

1. Click on your name in the menu at the top right and select "two-factor authentication" from the menu.

1. Click on "set up code via email" in the window that appears.
2. Follow the guide in the window:
3. "send authentication code to your email address"
4. Find the email in your inbox from sender no-reply@messenger@checkin.no, which contains the 6-digit code.
5. Enter the 6-digit code you received by email in the Checkin window and click "complete setup."
   
   Once the setup is complete, every time you log in to Checkin, you will receive a login code via email that needs to be entered - unless you tick off the box "trust the device for 30 days".
