Product Update: Introducing 2FA

What is Two factor authentication?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to provide two different authentication factors to verify their identity. This typically involves:

1. Something you know: like a password

2. Something you have / own: such as a smartphone, by using an Authenticator app on your phone or sending an SMS to your phone, or a security token.

3. Something you are: Your Face ID, fingerprint identification or any other biometric identificator.
   

By combining any of these two factors, 2FA adds an extra layer of protection, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to gain access to your accounts.

Why is Two-Factor Authentication Important?

Two-Factor Authentication is crucial in today's digital landscape where cyber threats are constantly evolving. By requiring an additional verification step, 2FA helps to protect sensitive information and reduce the risk of breaches. Even if a password is compromised, the second factor adds a formidable barrier against unauthorized access, ensuring that your personal and business data remains secure. Implementing 2FA is a simple yet effective measure to enhance your overall security posture and protect against a wide range of cyber attacks.

Introducing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in Affire!

We are excited to announce the launch of two-factor authentication (2FA) as part of our latest security improvements at Affire. This new feature adds an extra layer of protection to your account, ensuring that your data remains secure.

With 2FA, every Affire user can now enable or disable this feature by receiving a verification code via email. This additional step helps to safeguard your account against unauthorized access.

For admin profiles, we have implemented a more robust 2FA process. Instead of receiving a code via email, admin users will use Google Authenticator to complete the verification. This ensures that only authorized individuals can access the admin profile, providing an extra level of security for sensitive information.

At Affire, your security is our priority. Enable 2FA today to enhance the protection of your account and enjoy peace of mind knowing your data is secure.
