Choose a second factor

Choose between UKC Email 2FA and TOTP

UKC supports a six-digit code sent to the login email and time-based codes from an authenticator app. Both protect the account beyond its password, but they suit different users.

UKC Email 2FASimple and familiar.

TOTPFast, offline app codes.

Backup codeRecovery for either choice.

Email method

Choose email when the account mailbox is secure and dependable

UKC sends a six-digit code to the login email. It expires after ten minutes. A delayed SMS fallback may appear after sixty seconds when a valid UK mobile number is held.

Authenticator method

Choose TOTP for immediate codes generated on your device

TOTP works without email delivery or mobile reception. It requires a compatible authenticator app, correct device time and a recovery plan if the device is lost.

Make the choice

Use the method you can protect and recover reliably

Only one primary method is active at a time. Whichever you choose, secure the email account, store the backup code separately and never disclose a live code.
