Two-Factor Authentication
When domain/organization admin enforces 2FA for their users, they must go through the 2FA initial setup flow the next time they log in.
Two-Factor Authentication provides another layer of security to your account. Once this feature is enabled, we will send a verification code to your email the next time you log in.
Note
Your email needs to be verified before you can enable this feature.

- Click on the profile icon > go to Manage Account
- Go to Security and Credentials > click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Click Send verification code > key in the verification code which has been sent to your registered email > Continue

Once you enable 2FA, your next sign-in to the portal will require you to key in the 2FA code sent to your email address or use the Recovery Key to login.
