TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

We implemented two-factor authentication to serve as an extra layer of security. It is an authentication mechanism that double checks if your identity is legitimate.

Traditionally, when you want to sign in to your account, you are prompted to authenticate with a username and a password. Two-factor authentication will work as an extra step in the authentication process that helps us confirm your identity and ensure the maximum security level for your account.

If you wish your account to be more secure, we strongly encourage you to activate the Two-Factor Authentication feature as soon as possible.
