Setting up Two-Factor Authentication for your Endear User Profile

Set up 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication), also known as Multi-factor Authentication, for your Endear User Profile

Endear allows for Two Factor Authentication for your user profiles. Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security method that requires two different ways to prove your identity. The first is usually your password, and the second is often something like a unique code from your phone. Adding 2FA to an Endear user profile makes it much harder for someone to break into your account, even if they know your password. It's like having two locks on a door instead of just one, making your account more secure.

We offer two ways to get a code for Two-Factor Authentication.
