Check offers several security features, such as login alerts and two-factor authentication, to help you add an extra layer of protection to your account. To learn more about the steps we take to keep Check safe, read our approach to security.
Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security, helps prevent others from accessing your online accounts and data even if they know your password. To enable it in Check you'll need to download a two-factor authentication app, like Google Authenticator, on your smartphone.
To enable two-factor authentication in Check:
In the bottom left of your workspace, click on your profile image.
Click on the Settings tab.
Click Require two-factor authentication.
Follow the instructions on Check to finish setting up two-factor authentication. We strongly recommend that you generate and print backup codes, which will allow you to sign in case you lose access to your two-factor authentication device.
Suspicious activity alerts
Check sends an alert when someone tries logging in from a device or location we don't recognize or when you failed 4 login attempts. If you don’t recognize a login attempt, we recommend you change your password immediately.
Suspicious activity alerts are enabled by default but can easily be configured in your email notification settings.
