To get started, you must download the Authy Authenticator application from the Google Play Store or from Apple’s App Store:


Step 1: Initial Setup

Once the application is installed, proceed with the initial setup:

  • Confirm your account by selecting one of these options.


Step 4: Add Authenticator Accounts

After verifying your account:

  • On the main Authy screen, click the “+” button.

  • Link your Sered account with Authy by scanning QR codes or manually entering the credentials.

  • Go to the “My Data/Security Settings” section of your Sered account.

  • Then click the green button that says “Click here to Activate.”


Step 5: Customize the Account in Authy

Once you have scanned the QR code of your Sered account, you must customize the account in Authy:

  • Add a logo and a representative name to the account to identify it easily.

  • Use the search function in Authy by entering “Sered” to associate the specific platform logo.

  • Then, assign an additional name to identify the account.


Step 6: Completion of the Process

Once you have saved the above settings in the application on your mobile, codes will appear in the mobile app that change every short time. You must enter these codes in the “Enter authentication code” field below the QR code. Then click “Submit” to complete the process.

By following these steps, you will have activated two-step verification with Authy to ensure greater security on your Sered account!

Remember to save the backup code. It is essential to access your account in situations where you cannot complete two-factor authentication. Make sure to write it down in a safe place, as it will be necessary in case of loss or lack of the second factor. If you completely lose access to your Sered account, please send us an email at [email protected] from your email associated with your Sered account so we can provide assistance and help you.
