To protect our customers against fraudulent data breaches, we have taken account security to the next level by integrating Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).  We evaluated several of the 2FA solutions on the market, and Authy gave us the easiest implementation, a great mobile client, and great customer support. If your organization is looking for a two-factor authentication solution, we highly recommend Authy!
What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication is the second level of authentication to an account login, where 2-3 types of credentials are requested to provide login access. These include either something you know (e.g. PIN, password, etc.), something you have (e.g. ATM card, token, etc.), or something you are (e.g. fingerprints, voice prints, iris patterns, etc.). With 2FA, the user must correctly enter two of these three factors to successfully login.
To enable two-factor authentication, follow the steps below.

To setup two-factor authentication, simply login as usual, then click on “manage two factor auth.”
