Security is essential to protect your personal information and data. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is required in order for you to gain access to your Cloud Service account to help prevent hackers from accessing your account even if they have somehow obtained your account details.
What are the Requirements?
You need a smartphone with a supported time-based one-time password app. The operating systems (OS) of most mobile phones, such as Android, Windows and iOS, have an app for two-factor (2FA) authentication. We recommend Google Authenticator, which is available in the App Store and in Google Play.
How to Enable the Two-Factor Authentication on Your Cloud Service Account?
1. Log in to your Cloud Service account.
2. Download and open the Google Authenticator or other 2FA Authenticator app.
3. Scan the QR code on your screen using your Google Authenticator or other 2FA Authenticator app. If your app doesn't have a QR code reader, you can manually enter the account name and key number.
4. Under the Security Code, enter your Two-Factor Authentication code and click on Configure Two-Factor Authentication.
It should display a message such as Success: Two-factor authentication is now configured on your account.
