Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication (2FA)–also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA)–is a login method that requires users to provide a combination of security measures. Checking the “enable two-factor authentication” setting for the Login page will require users to use an authenticator app to generate login credentials. See the MFA section of the article on accessing Apporto for more information.
