For this reason <strong>we are implementing enhancements such as Two Factor Authentication (2FA), which will be mandatory on March 13<sup>th<\/sup><\/strong>. You might have been seeing a notification asking you to set up a 2FA when you log into your account. <strong>Tis measurement adds a second layer of security to your account and gives you more control over its accessibility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Two_Factor_Authentication_-_2FA\"><\/span><strong>What is Two Factor Authentication<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>2FA?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a second layer of security that verifies you are the person who is trying to access your online account.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Two_factor_authentication_work\"><\/span><strong>How does Two factor authentication work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2FA (two-factor authentication) security system requires two different forms of authentication to identify the user and give access to something such as a google account or our portal. The first authentication factor usually is the password, and the second one is a code sent by text messages, authentication apps, or others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_we_need_this_security_system_to_keep_your_account_safe\"><\/span><strong>Why do we need this security system to keep your account safe?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a time when simple password would be enough to protect your account, but that is no longer the case. With technology, password hacking has improved, and hackers have found new ways to get your data. That is why today is often required to use complex combinations of numbers and letters for your passwords. These usually include lower and upper cases and non-alphanumerical symbols to keep your data safe and away from cyber criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even complex passwords are not safe from sophisticated hacking and information-gathering techniques. Phishing, malware, digital brute force, and even online extortion are part of the modern hacker\u2019s arsenal, so a second layer of security helps us guarantee your data&#8217;s safety. Because of this reality, we are now enforcing it as an obligatory step all of our clients must take to keep their information secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_you_set_your_Reloadly_2FA\"><\/span><strong>How can you set your Reloadly 2FA?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting this March 13<sup>th<\/sup>, as soon as you log into your account, you must set your 2FA up.
