Two-factor authentication asks you for a 6-digit code from Google Authenticator each time you log in or do something sensitive. If you deleted the app, switched phones, or lost your phone, you’ll need those codes back before you can log in again.
Start by trying to recover them yourself. That’s the fastest route, and it keeps your account protected the whole time. If you can’t, contact us and we’ll look at your account with you.
Get your codes back
Google Authenticator can back your codes up to your Google Account. If that backup was on, your Cashi code comes back with it.
Install Google Authenticator again from your app store
Open it and sign in with the same Google Account you used before
Look for your Cashi code in the list
If the code is there, you’re done. Use it the next time Cashi asks for one.
Turn two-factor authentication off
You can turn it off yourself, but only while you can still produce a code — Cashi asks for one to confirm the change.
Go to Settings
Tap Security
Tap Google Authenticator
Tap Turn off
Enter the 6-digit code from Google Authenticator to confirm
Your account is still protected after this. You log in with your password, and the app still asks for your passcode, fingerprint, or face.
If your codes are gone
Contact us and tell us what happened. We’ll check your account and work out how to get you back in.
If you’re still logged in on your phone — message us from the in-app chat. Go to Settings and tap Help & Support.
If you’re locked out — email us at [email protected] from your registered email address.
Set it up again
Your account is less protected whenever two-factor authentication is off, so set it up again as soon as you can. See How to set up two-factor authentication. These habits stop it happening again:
Turn on backup in Google Authenticator — sign in to the app with a Google Account so your codes are saved and come back on a new phone
Set up your new phone before you wipe the old one — move Google Authenticator across while both phones still work
Keep the app installed — you need a code from it at every login
