Two-Factor Authentication (MFA, 2FA)

How Can I Enable/Disable Two-Factor Authentication?

Two-factor authentication is a feature that combines password validation and phone(or email), thus adding another layer of security. After an agent enters the password, he/she will get a second code sent to his/her phone and/or email. Only after the agent enters the code will he/she get into the account.

 

To increase account security, you can enable Two-Factor Authentication for your account in Admin Panel -> Security -> Security & compliance settings. It makes it that much harder for unauthorized users to access your online accounts.

 

Important: After you enable Two-Factor authentication, agents will be asked to enter the Two-Factor authentication code to be able to login.
ImportantIf you are logging in via third party SSO / Sign in with Google, etc. options, LiveHelpNow configured Two-Factor Authentication will not be applicable.
