      Overview

      As your organization's data is paramount, implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security, requiring users to provide a six-digit code from an authenticator app and their password when logging into Flipsnack. This measure significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

      Key Benefits

      • Enhanced Security: 2FA ensures that even if a password is compromised, unauthorized access is prevented by requiring a time-sensitive code.
      • Compliance: Aligns with industry best practices for data protection, supporting organizational compliance requirements.

      Requirements

      • Authenticator application: Ensure users can access a compatible authenticator app on their mobile devices, such as Google Authenticator or Authy.
