Sign in with Email + 2FA (SMS)

Overview

When two-factor authentication (2FA) via SMS is enabled, you’ll be asked to verify each login attempt with a code sent to your phone. This ensures that even if your password is compromised, no one can access your account without also having your mobile device.

How to Sign in with Email + 2FA (SMS):

1. Go to the Login Page

• Navigate to https://myaccount.discovered.ai.
• Enter your email address and password.

• Click Sign In.

2. Receive Your Verification Code

• A message will appear confirming that a 6-digit code has been sent via SMS to your registered phone number.
• For security, only the last four digits of the number will be displayed.

3. Enter the Code

• Open the text message on your phone.
• Enter the six-digit code into the verification fields on the login page.

4. Complete the Sign-In

• Click Submit.
• If the code is valid, you’ll be logged into your Discovered dashboard.

Why This Matters

Using SMS-based 2FA gives you:

• Stronger security – A password alone isn’t enough.
• Instant alerts – You’re notified if someone tries to log in.
• Compliance-ready protection – Safeguards sensitive hiring and candidate data.

Troubleshooting

• Didn’t receive the code?
  • A countdown timer prevents multiple requests from being sent at once.
  • After the timer ends, click Send Again to generate a new code.
  • Important: Only the most recent code will work. If multiple texts arrive, use the latest one.
• Still not receiving codes?
  • Check your phone signal and confirm the registered number is able to receive texts.
  • If issues persist, reach out to our support team at support@discovered.ai.

Use Cases

• Your company requires SMS-based 2FA for compliance.
• You want real-time login notifications on your phone.
• You prefer phone-based verification over email-based verification.

Best Practices

• Always use the most recent code to avoid login failures.
• Ensure your phone number in Discovered is up to date.
• If possible, enable both SMS and email 2FA so you have a backup method.

What Happens Next

After signing in:

• You’ll land on your Discovered dashboard.
• SMS 2FA will be required again at your next login.

You can switch your 2FA preference (SMS or Email) in Profile Settings.
