We are happy to inform you that we have integrated 2FA (two-factor authentication) with authenticator app as a security option for your TheStaffPort™ account. 2FA is a method of verifying your identity by requiring two pieces of evidence: something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone). This way, even if someone steals your password, they won’t be able to access your account without your phone.

With an authenticator app, you can generate a verification code on your phone that you need to enter along with your password when you sign in to TheStaffPort™. The code changes every 30 seconds, so it’s very secure and easy to use. You can use any authenticator app that supports TOTP (time-based one-time password) protocol, such as Google Authenticatorhttps://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid, Microsoft Authenticatorhttps://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/account-billing/set-up-an-authenticator-app-as-a-two-step-verification-method-2db39828-15e1-4614-b825-6e2b524e7c95, 2FAShttps://2fas.com/, etc.

With 2FA and authenticator app, you can enjoy the following benefits:

• Enhanced security: You can protect your account from unauthorized access and cyber threats by adding an extra layer of verification.
• Convenience: You don’t need to receive SMS or email codes that may be delayed or intercepted. You can generate codes offline on your phone anytime and anywhere.
• Flexibility: You can choose which accounts and devices you want to enable 2FA for, and which authenticator app you want to use.
