Note

If you want to receive SMS notifications or verification codes, you must enter and validate your phone number under Mobile Phone Verification.

When you use two-factor authentication, you can choose from the following options:

  • Disabled: You aren't using two-factor authentication.
  • Enable only for Payment Changes (Required for changing Legal Entity or Remit-To): Two-factor authentication is required when creating or editing legal entities or remit-to addresses.
  • Enable for Both Account Access (Login) and Payment Changes: Two-factor authentication is required when logging in to the CSP. You don't have to reauthenticate when working with financial data because you already authenticated on when logging in.

Under Two-Factor Authentication, click Enable for SMS or for Two Factor Authenticator App depending on how you want to receive the verification codes.

  • For SMS, enter the verification code in the pop-up window.

For more information, see Install Google Authenticator.

Some of your Coupa customers may require that you use two-factor authentication. If you disable it and your customer requires it, you must re-enable it to transaction with them on the CSP.
