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!
