How to

Set up and use your second step

For roles that can see the books, how to set up a passkey, text messages, an authenticator app or printed backup codes, and use one when you sign in.

People who can see the church's books confirm it's really them with a second step, as well as the emailed code. You choose how.

The first time you sign in, Core1440 asks you to Choose your second step.
Pick the easiest for you:
- Set up a passkey: uses the fingerprint reader, face unlock or PIN you already use on this computer or phone. There are no codes to type.
- A text message to your mobile: type Your mobile number, press Text me a code, then type the code and press Finish.
- Printed backup codes: press Make my backup codes, then print the page or write the 10 codes down. Each code works once.
- An authenticator app on your phone: scan the picture with the app, then type the 6-digit code it shows and press Finish.
Next time you sign in, you'll see One more step. Use your passkey, type the code, or choose Use another way.
To skip the second step on this computer for 30 days, tick Remember this computer for 30 days. Only do this on your own computer.

Set up a second way too, so you're never locked out. After your first one, the home page offers Print a sheet of backup codes. Keep them in a drawer at home.
Making a new sheet of backup codes stops the old ones from working.
After 5 wrong codes, Core1440 stops that sign-in to keep your account safe and takes you back to Sign in. Start again with a new emailed code.
