How Can We Help?
Two Factor Authentication is an optional security measure for an account that requires the entry of an additional code, received as an SMS text message, after logging into an account with a login name and password.
Note: Two Factor Authentication is only available in the United States and Canada.
How Two Factor Authentication works
When Two Factor Authentication is activated:
- Upon login to the app or website, a text message containing a randomly generated code is sent to a specified phone number. From there, the code within the text message is necessary to log in.
- Upon successful login on a web browser, the user is prompted with a message asking if the device is a trusted device.
- If Trust Device is selected, then the Two Factor Authentication process is not started upon login for that specific browser on the device.
- If Skip is selected, the device remains a not trusted device and requires a code to be submitted every time someone uses the device to log into that account.
Note: On the mobile app, the mobile device is automatically trusted upon a successful initial login with Two Factor Authentication.
