2FA (2-Factor Authentication) adds an extra layer of security on top of your username and password when you sign in to an online service.

For example, your bank may ask you to enter a short, random-looking code from a small electronic device after you have entered your username and password. That code is 2FA.

How does 2FA work in Force24?

Rather than giving each customer a physical device, Force24 uses Google Authenticator, a widely used and trusted authentication app, to provide your 2FA codes.

How do I get the Google Authenticator app?

The Google Authenticator app is free. You can download it to your mobile device from either of the following:

Download Google Authenticator from the App Store

Download Google Authenticator from Google Play

Once the app is installed on your device, you can follow the 2FA setup instructions.

Ready to set up 2FA?

If you want to set up 2FA now that the app is installed, learn more in our How to set up 2FA article.
