Two-Factor Authentication
security Enabling Two-Factor Authentication can add a second layer of protection to your account and we highly recommend enabling for additional security for your account. This combines:
- Something you know (password)
- Something you have (phone)
Once enabled, when you sign in from a browser we don't recognize, we will send a single-use code to your phone for you to enter during sign in before your dashboard and account loads.
