Two-Factor Authenticartion is now live within your Quic account portal to offer enhanced security for your account and services!

 

 

 

To setup Two-Factor Authentication, simply login to your account, click your name in the top-right and select “Two-Factor Authentication”

 

 

Once in the Two-Factor Authentication page, you can then proceed to enable via three different methods, being:

 

 

  • Time Based Tokens (TOTP – e.g. via the Google Authenticator app etc);
  • SMS Tokens (code sent to your mobile via SMS); or
  • Yubico (if you have a Yubikey hardware security token)

With multiple options available, including SMS tokens for those not so familiar with multifactor authentication, there’s no reason to not add this additional layer of security to your account!

 

 

 

Need more convincing? How about this…

 

Be in to win a Yubikey 5 NFC hardware security token!

 

 

For all of our awesome Quic customers, new and old – we’ll be drawing 5 names on 1st March 2024 for everyone who has Two-Factor Authentication enabled on their account.

 

If your name is one of the lucky 5 drawn, you’ll score yourself the latest Yubikey 5 NFC!
(more info on the Yubikey device: https://www.yubico.com/nz/product/yubikey-5-series/yubikey-5-nfc/)

 

So what are you waiting for? Jump into your Quic account portal and setup Two-Factor Authentication today!

This has been available for some time in my account.

This is awesome. I grabbed some from Cloudflare when they did their promo a year or so ago and now I use them daily.

OK, this is not as obvious as it could be when using a mobile browser...

 

After logging in:

 

 

Then you need to select the "burger" thing on the left to open a drop-down...

 

 

Where I finally can click my name and find the 2FA setup:

 

 

@quic; can this be popped into an improvement queue, perhaps?

Great spotting @jamesrt, thanks - I'll let the dev team know. :-)

Good stuff. Once the new network has settled in I will probably shift over from voyager.

Same, from Spark, waiting for ipoe/dhcp before I switch

BNG in Wellington would be nice 😉

This is great, thank you! 
Although would it be possible to have multiple Yubikeys assigned? I have a backup key that I like to have also assigned in case I lose my primary one.

 

Thanks!

I'm an infrequent winner of things, so todays lucky draw delivery of a Yubikey 5 was an appreciated surprise!

 

Nice way to start the week, thanks @quic🥳
