What's a two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Two-factor authentication (also called “two-step verification”) protects your account by requiring two different methods to access it:
- your username and password;
- a security code, normally sent by email or text.
Two-factor authentication is a security measure that significantly strengthens the safety of your AssessFirst account.
Even if a third party were to obtain your AssessFirst username and password, they wouldn't be able to access your account because they wouldn't have access to the security code sent by email or text.
Once you receive the code, you'll have 5 minutes to enter it on the website. Your account will then be authenticated for the next 30 days, provided that you're using the same browser and that you haven't cleared your cookies.
