Security settings are defined during the account registration and can be updated anytime later. To review and adjust your security settings, click on your name at the top-right corner.
In My security settings, you can change your password, enable or disable 2-step verification methods, and view recovery codes.
💡 Recovery codes are available only with the 2-step verification enabled.
Change password
To change your password:
Enter your current password.
Enter and confirm your new password.
Click Save.
💡 New password must differ from the last 10 passwords previously used for your iDeals account.
2-step verification
You can review and change current verification methods, view and generate new recovery codes.
If no verification methods are currently set up, click enable and proceed with the preferred option.
💡 We strongly advise having 2-step verification enabled to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Authenticator app
Set up verification with the authenticator application in 3 quick steps:
Download and install the authenticator app if you don't have it yet.
Open the app and scan the QR code from the screen.
Enter a one-time code generated by your authenticator app.
💡 Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy are the most commonly used apps, but you can use any other at your preference.
Code by SMS
Another verification option is via a one-time SMS code sent to your phone.
Enter your mobile phone number.
Confirm your phone number by entering a 6-digit code from SMS.
Recovery codes
Upon enabling 2-step verification, you also get recovery codes. They can be used as an alternative verification method if you're unable to use any of the previously set-up methods.
To view current codes, click View. Here you can save your codes anew in case they're lost and generate new ones when needed.
💡 Upon generating new codes, they replace the old ones.
