What is the purpose of 2FA

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a verification method that adds an extra step during login to enhance the security of your Multilogin account. In addition to using a password, you also need a verification code provided by apps like Google Authenticator. Let's learn how to set it up and its importance!

Why 2FA is useful

Extra security: Even if someone knows your password, they cannot access your account without the code
Quick setup: Can be set up in just a few minutes, but adds a lot of protection
Team essential: If you are in a team, 2FA helps ensure that only trusted people can access the workspace

How to Set Up 2FA

How to Enable 2FA for Your Account

Hover your mouse over the “Account” section in the lower-left corner, then click “Account Settings”
Click “Turn On” next to “Two-Factor Authentication”
Follow the instructions using Google Authenticator, then click “Continue”
Keep your backup codes in a safe place – they are important!

How to Enable 2FA for Team Members in Your Account

After completing the above steps, you will be required to enter a verification code or backup code each time you log in.
