Using Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication provides an additional level of security to productname.label, by requiring users to complete a second verification step when logging in to the productname.label application. With two-factor authentication, logging in requires both your password and an additional verification code you generate using an authenticator app on your smartphone.
