2FA Authentication
2FA Authentication is a method to confirm secure login to your Cashfree Payments account and authenticate specific operations that occur in your account. It combines two different factors: sign-in password and OTP to confirm user identity. You receive an OTP to your registered phone number via SMS by default. You can configure it to receive the OTP on your email as well. Once the OTP is validated, the session is valid for 15 minutes.
If you do not want to use the OTP-based authentication, click Use this Method Instead to configure your account authentication via Google's Authenticator app.
You can have another level of security to the login sequence for your Cashfree Payments account. Switch the toggle Enable 2FA for Login to enable two-factor authentication for every login attempt to the merchant dashboard for you and your alias account. This added layer of security reduces fraud and keeps your account secure.

Account Security
To help you keep your account secure, below are a few recommendations from Cashfree Payments:
Keep your Cashfree Payments password secure
Your password should be unique to Cashfree Payments account and known only to you. We recommend you to not reuse this password for multiple services or websites. You can update your password in Profile > My Information.
Use Aliases/Users to provide access to your Cashfree Payments account for other users
You can provide others with access to your account with the desired permissions. You get complete visibility of their actions. We recommend you to not share your password with anyone.
Maintain confidentiality of your API Keys
It is unique to your account. Anyone who gets to know your API credentials can make an API request for your account. If you think your API Keys may be compromised, you can always generate new API Keys in Access Control.
Update Two-Factor authentication
By default, as a mandatory security feature, SMS OTP is used for two-factor authentication while performing key actions on your merchant dashboard. You can enable an alternative mechanism in Two-Factor Authentication.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication on new devices/browsers
We recommend you to enable two-factor authentication on logins from a new device or browser for every user of your account. You can enable this feature in Security Preferences.
Beware of phishing
If you receive an email or SMS from us that you don't expect, do not enter your password after clicking the link. Generally, phishing messages might ask you to visit a link, download a file, complete a form, or open an attachment.
Always check if the link has a cashfree.com domain and is HTTPS. To protect your system against automated attacks and malware, we recommend enabling automatic updates for your operating system and browser.
What to do if you suspect fraud
Cashfree Payments takes customer reports of fraudulent activity very seriously. If you think your account is compromised, or that a fraudster is actively using your account, then you should:
-
Contact Us
If you suspect an attack, contact Cashfree Payments customer support immediately or contact the Cashfree Payments team at [email protected] -
Change your password
You can block unauthorised user access by changing the password. If aliases/users have access to the account, their passwords should be changed. We recommend using a strong password with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. You can change your password in Account Settings. If you have forgotten your password, click here to reset it. -
Delete and generate new API Keys
Changing your password can prevent the fraudster from logging into the account, but they can still use the API if they have your API Keys. To prevent a fraudster from making an API request, you should remove all existing API Keys and generate new sets of API Keys. Anyone with the old API Keys will no longer be able to make API requests. Manage your API Keys in Access Control.
