​
Two-Factor Security

Implementing an additional authentication step, known as two-factor authentication (2FA), is a vital security layer to protect the Z-API panel against unauthorized access and cyber threats.

​
Enabling the feature

1

Access the Z-API Panel

Log in to the Z-API panel with your credentials.
2

Navigate to the Security Page

In the Z-API panel, find the “Security” option in the navigation menu.
3

Set up Two-Factor Authentication

Locate the “Two-Factor Authentication” option and click “Set Up Now”. A QR code will be generated for synchronization with authenticator apps such as 1Password, Google Authenticator, or Microsoft Authenticator.

​
How it works

After setting up, follow the flow below to authenticate:
  1. Open the authenticator app on your phone.
  2. Add the account manually or scan the generated QR code.
  3. Link your Z-API account to your device.
  4. Each time you log in to the Z-API panel, you will be asked to provide a one-time code generated by the authenticator app.
  5. The code regenerates every few seconds and is unique per account.

​
Benefits of using 2FA

Additional Protection

The password alone is not enough to access the panel. Even if someone discovers your password, they will still need the code generated by the authenticator.

Unauthorized Access Prevention

Access requires possession of the linked mobile device, significantly hindering unauthorized access attempts.

Sensitive Data Security

Protects confidential information stored in the Z-API panel with an extra verification layer.

Security Standards Compliance

Meets industry security requirements and current regulations.
