2-Factor Authentication (Authy)

2-Factor Authentication

New account security feature launched for Enjin website Owner accounts on Advanced and Ultimate plans. This new feature uses the Authy Mobile App or can send SMS codes to your mobile phone for verification

What is Two Factor Authentication?

Enabling two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Enjin account. In addition to your regular password, it will require a verification code from your mobile phone to login. This makes it much more difficult for someone to gain unauthorized access to your account since it requires both something you know (your password) and something you own (your phone). If you lose your phone you will need to go through a reset process to restore access.

4) Verification on Login
