How Two Factor Authentication Works?
Two Factor Authentication provides a second step in the log-in process that requires not only a password and username but also another piece of information that only the specified user has access to. This provides additional account security as the 2FA makes it harder for potential intruders to gain access to the account and steal any personal data.
With 2FA enabled, you will enter your username and password per usual during the login. Once you enter the password, ContactPigeon will send you a special verification code via email, to be entered in the last step of the verification process. Each code is unique for a short period of time, and can only be used once to login in.
