Two-Factor Authentication Page Documentation¶
The Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Page is a critical security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to the user's account. With 2FA, the user will be required to enter an OTP (One-Time Password) code in addition to their regular login credentials. This documentation explains the 2FA page.
-
OTP Code: In the centre of the page, the user will find the OTP (One Time Pin) Code field. This is where the user must enter the one-time password generated by their authentication app (Google Authenticator).
-
Authenticate Button: Once the user has entered the OTP code, they can click the
Authenticate
button to verify their identity. If the OTP code is correct, the user will gain access to their account. -

Summary¶
Users can effectively use the 2FA page to enhance the security of their accounts and maintain control, even in the event of a lost device.
