Account security

Change password​

Here you change your password. Click Next and follow the instructions. After that, sign in with your new password.

Two-factor authentication​

Two-factor authentication protects your account against unauthorized access. In addition to your user name and password, a second factor is required to confirm your identity: a code from an authenticator app on your mobile phone that is connected to your account. O&O Syspectr supports Google Authenticator and other common authenticator apps that implement the “Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm” (TOTP) defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 6238.

Activate two-factor authentication​

  1. Select Two-factor authentication and click Activate.
  2. O&O Syspectr sends a TAN to the email address of your account. Enter it and click Next.
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.
  4. Enter the code shown in the app to complete the activation.

At the end, O&O Syspectr shows a one-time emergency code. Write it down and keep it in a safe place: you need it to deactivate two-factor authentication if you lose your phone or cannot use your authenticator app.

Deactivate two-factor authentication​

  • In the account settings: select Two-factor authentication, click Deactivate, enter the TAN that O&O Syspectr sends to your email address and click Next.
  • With the emergency code: when O&O Syspectr asks for the code from your authenticator app during sign-in, select I can't use my authentication app and enter your emergency code.
