Create your Payabli user account
When an administrator invites you to the Payabli Portal, you’ll receive an email with a temporary password and a link. Follow the link to set up your account, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), before you can log in.
Before you begin
You’ll need an authenticator app installed on your phone or a password manager with time-based one-time password (TOTP) support. Any TOTP-compatible app works.
Create your account
To create your account:
- Open the invitation email from Payabli. It contains your login link, your account email address, and a temporary password.
- Click the login link and sign in with your temporary password.
- Enter your user profile information:
- Full name
- Phone number
- Time zone
- Create a new permanent password.
- Set up MFA.
Once you configure MFA, you’ll have access to the Payabli Portal.
Set up MFA
Multi-factor authentication requires you to authenticate with a second method each time you login, in addition to your password. Payabli uses TOTP: a 6-digit code generated by an authenticator app that rotates on a short interval.
- When you reach the MFA setup screen, open your authenticator app.
- Scan the QR code displayed in the Portal, or click Enter Code Manually to type in the key instead.
- Your app will generate a 6-digit code. Enter it in the Portal to confirm the setup.
SMS-based MFA is available, but requires use of the API to manage user authentication.
After setup, you’ll enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app each time you log in. If you lose access to your authenticator, contact your administrator to reset your MFA from the User Management page.
