You can enable two-factor authentication (commonly known as 2FA) to keep your account more secure. With two-factor authentication enabled, you will need to enter your username and password as well as an additional unique passcode to log into your account. Our system will send those codes to your user's email or SMS Number.
While two-factor authentication adds an extra step to your account login process, the security benefits can make it worthwhile.
How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication for Your User
- Click on your user icon in the top right corner of your account (Note: you may see a "Welcome" button here instead).
- Select My Profile
- Your user's Email and SMS Number will be used for the two-factor authentication messages, so if you need to update your user's information, do so now.
- Click the Two-Factor Authentication button, which may be found in the Login Credentials section.
- Click to either Enable with Email or Enable with SMS.
- You'll be sent a unique passcode to either your email or SMS. Enter it into the Verification window that opened after you enabled with email or SMS.
- Click Submit.
- You should now see a message saying: Two-Factor Authentication is currently enabled.
