What is 2FA and what are the benefits?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), also known as multi-factor authentication, is a security measure that requires you to provide two forms of identification before gaining access. By using two methods to log in—such as a password and a one-time code sent to your email or mobile number, or use the code generated in the authenticator app—2FA provides significantly stronger protection against unauthorized access.
One-Time Password (OTP) is not available if 2FA is enabled. To enable 2FA, the account must have a password set up. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
What Options are Available
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) can be enabled for members and is enforced for users with administrative module access to enhance the security of club data and member details. 2FA codes can be sent via:
-
-
- SMS if available
- Mobile app notification (for users already logged in to the app but accessing their account from another browser or device).
- Authenticator app - the system will not send a code ; instead, you can use the code generated in the app to log in. How to Configure Authenticator App
-
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is available for all members and administrators. The SMS credits used for 2FA and SMS email campaigns are shared, meaning they draw from the same credit pool. To enable this feature and purchase SMS credits, please see Security Settings.
Please note that 2FA via SMS may not be available in certain countries.
