Two-Factor Authentication
NOTE:
This feature is available on Enterprise plan only.
Two-step verification or two-
step authentication is a method of confirming a user’s claimed
identity by utilizing something they know (password) and a second factor other than something
they have or something they are. An example of a second step is the user repeating back
something that was sent to them through an out-of-band mechanism. Or the second step
might be a 6 digit number generated by an app that is common to the user and the
authentication system.
First of all, download an Authenticator app either to your PC/Laptop (
) or to your
browser (
). You can also download an app from the Google Play Store for your
Android phone.
