Elevate your security with multi-factor authentication, bolstering protection and defense against unauthorized access and potential security threats.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires two or more authentication factors, such as passwords, or security tokens, to verify an identity and access an account. On the Navigating.art platform, this is done with a login password and a verification code that’s automatically sent to the user’s phone via text message. Only when both steps of the authentication have been successful, the user will be given access to the platform. Using two-factor authentication (2FA) to log in to your Navigating.art platform enhances security by adding an extra layer of protection. This makes unauthorized access significantly more difficult and establishes a more robust defense against potential security breaches. Keep reading to learn how to activate and use two-factor authentication.
How to activate the two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication setup is handled by the Navigating.art support team. To enable 2FA, please contact support@navigating.art. Only admins are authorized to request 2FA activation; if you're not an admin, please ask your administrator to reach out to us regarding this matter.
