Solving 2FA problems in client access

Last updated: August 2026

Two-factor authentication breaks shared logins because the code goes to the account owner, not the agency — leading to phone tag and lockouts. Partner and user access remove the problem entirely.

The playbook

  1. Stop sharing logins that trigger 2FA prompts.
  2. Use each platform's official multi-user or partner access.
  3. Each team member logs in with their own identity.
  4. Keep the client's 2FA on.
  5. Remove access cleanly when finished.

The shortcut

HandItSafe was built for exactly this. One link requests the access you need through each platform's official process, your client keeps a panel to see and remove it, and every change is logged — so onboarding is fast and offboarding is clean.
