How to Set Up and Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Ply

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your Ply account. By requiring a second verification step when logging in, MFA helps keep your business and customer data safe—even if a password is compromised.

Why enable MFA?

  • Enhanced Security: Even if your password is leaked, your account remains protected unless the second verification code is also entered.

  • Prevents Unauthorized Access: Drastically reduces the risk of phishing and credential stuffing attacks.

  • Compliance & Peace of Mind: Helps enforce security best practices across your team.


How to Enable MFA (Admin or Owner)

  1. Go to Settings > Profile > Multi-Factor Authentication

  2. Under Multi-Factor Authentication, click Enable MFA
    ​

  3. Follow the steps to connect an Authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator):
    ​

    • Download and open the app

    • Scan the QR code shown on screen

    • Enter the 6-digit code generated

  4. Save your recovery codes in a secure location

  • Confirm that you've saved the codes and finish setup

  • Once complete, you'll see that MFA is active on your profile.

Managing MFA Across Your Team

  1. As an admin or account owner, go to Settings > Company & Billing > Team to see who has MFA enabled:
    ​
    You’ll see a MFA column with a ✅ or ❌
    ​

  2. Click the three dots next to the user and select Enable MFA to send setup instructions to users who haven’t activated it yet
    ​

You can generate new recovery codes anytime if needed


Logging In with MFA

  • Log in with your email and password

  • You’ll be prompted to enter the 6-digit code from your Authenticator app

  • Enter the code and you’re in!
