How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your PostureRay Virtual View Box

Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/sNeN0oMY5fI

1. Why two-factor authentication is required

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) is mandatory for the online Viewbox account.
  • It protects your data the same way banking apps protect sensitive information.
  • 2FA adds a second verification step beyond your password.
  • Even if someone gets or guesses your password, they still cannot access the account without the second factor.

2. Open your account settings 0:53

  • Log in to your Viewbox account.
  • Click your account name at the top of the screen.
  • Go to User Logins.

3. Turn on 2FA 1:09

  • In the User Logins area, click Add to FA.
  • Follow the on-screen directions to enable two-factor authentication.
  • Confirm that you want to turn it on.
  • Be aware that enabling 2FA will immediately log you out, and you will need to sign back in.

4. Use an authenticator app 1:43

  • The recommended method is an authenticator app such as:
    • Authy
    • Google Authenticator
  • These apps scan a QR code and generate time-based codes.
  • App-based 2FA is preferred over text messages because SMS can be spoofed or SIM-swapped.
  • Make sure you have backups and access to any additional devices you use for authentication.

5. Scan the QR code and save the account 2:55

  • After logging back in, you will see a QR code and setup instructions.
  • Open your authenticator app and choose Scan QR code.
  • Point your camera at the QR code shown in Viewbox.
  • The app will create a new entry for the account.
  • Save the entry in the authenticator app.

6. Enter the verification code to finish setup 3:26

  • Look at the 6-digit code generated by your authenticator app.
  • Enter that code into Viewbox before it expires.
  • The code changes quickly, so you only have a short window to submit it.
  • Click Enable Two Factor to complete setup.
  • Once accepted, 2FA is turned on and your account is protected.

7. Log in with 2FA going forward 4:06

  • After 2FA is enabled, every future login will require the code from your authenticator app.
  • Enter your username/password as usual.
  • Then open the authenticator app and type in the current code.
  • Once entered correctly, you will be signed in.

8. Get help if needed 4:27
