Setting Up 2FA (Multi-Factor Authentication)
What is Two-Step Verification?
Two-step verification (also known as multi-factor authentication or 2FA) is a security mechanism that requires users to provide two different forms of identification to access their account.
This typically includes:
- A password, and
- A second verification method such as:
- A code from an authenticator app
- A security token
- A mobile device prompt
This added layer of security helps protect your account from unauthorized access.
Actions to Enable 2FA
- Navigate to the Profile Page under the Settings tab.
- In the 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION section, click on the Enable button located below the organization details.
- You will be logged out of your account and prompted to log in again.
- During re-login, you will be required to:
- Use the Google Authenticator app (or any compatible TOTP app).
- Scan the QR code displayed on the screen.
- Enter the 6-digit verification code from the authenticator app to complete the setup.
Once enabled, 2FA will be required for all future logins to enhance account security.
