Set up two-factor authentication

Add a code from an authenticator app to every sign-in, save your backup codes, add a passkey, and know what to do if you lose your phone.

Your DMARCLoop sign-in can publish DNS records for your domains. Protect it with more than a password. Your account has three things: two-factor authentication, passkeys and your password. Open it from Your account, in the left sidebar under the product name.

Your account: two-factor authentication, passkeys and password

These are your own settings: they apply to you in every organisation you belong to, and nobody else can change them for you.

Turn on two-factor authentication

You need an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or 1Password.

  1. Under Two-factor authentication, enter your Current password and choose Set up.
  2. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, or type the key shown under it into the app by hand.
  3. Save the backup codes. Each one works once if you lose your phone. Keep them somewhere safe that isn’t the phone, such as your password manager. They aren’t shown again.
  4. Enter the six-digit code from the app in Code from the app and choose Turn on two-factor.

Setting up two-factor: the QR code, the key and the backup codes

From then on, signing in asks for a code from the app after your password. Tick Trust this device for 30 days on a computer only you use, and it won’t ask again on that device for 30 days.

Signing in without your phone

On the code screen, choose Use a backup code instead and enter one of your backup codes. Each code works once.

If you have lost the phone and the backup codes, ask support or a colleague to contact us. Our staff can reset two-factor on your account once we have confirmed who you are; then set it up again.

To turn two-factor off, enter your Current password and choose Turn off.

Passkeys

A passkey signs you in with your device’s screen lock (a fingerprint, face or PIN) instead of a password. Choose Add a passkey and follow your browser’s prompts. Next time, choose Sign in with a passkey on the sign-in page.

Each passkey is listed with the date it was added, and Remove deletes it. A passkey belongs to the address it was made on: if your provider gives you DMARCLoop under its own address, add a passkey there too.

Password

Change password needs your current password and a new one of at least 12 characters. Changing it signs you out everywhere else.

Forgotten it? Forgot your password? on the sign-in page emails you a link to set a new one.
