Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Pre-requisite: You must install an authenticator app, i.e., Google Authenticator or Authy, on your mobile.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) addresses the issue of password vulnerability and provides an additional layer of security (e.g., in case your password is compromised). This reinforces the safety measures taken to protect sensitive data by eliminating the chances of unauthorized access to your account.
All of this is achieved by adding a layer of protection to your account that requires an authentication code in addition to your password. Once you have provided the correct password, you must provide an authentication code (generated by an authenticator app installed on your mobile device) to log in.
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Your Account
You can enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account by following the steps provided below:
- Turn the Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) toggle on.
- Open the preferred authenticator app on your mobile and scan the QR code that displays on the platform. Alternatively, enter the alpha-numeric code that displays (in case you cannot scan the code from your mobile device) into the authenticator app.
- Enter the 6-digit code generated by your authenticator app into the Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) dialog box.
- If required, click Submit.
- A dialog confirms that Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) has been enabled, click Done to return to the Profile page.
Disabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
You can disable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) by toggling off Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). A confirmation dialog is displayed, confirming your choice.
Changing Avatar
To update your profile avatar that shows on the platform, hover on the avatar image on the left and press Change.
You can either drag and drop the image into the placeholder or click the placeholder to select a file from your computer.
You can further edit your profile avatar with the edit functions at the bottom. If you wish to remove the image, click on the trash icon on the right.
When you are satisfied with the profile image, press SET AS AVATAR to save it as your avatar profile.
FAQ

- Member users will only be able to access their Personal Settings module.
- Admin users will only be able to access the Personal Settings and Organization Settings > Security page.
