5. Two-factor authentication

In BizzMine, you'll have a lot of options to maintain your security and to ensure that only authorized people are viewing the things they need to see.

In some cases and industries, having a login and a personal password isn't secure enough. When users enable the option to remember the passwords and the login, the security barrier is lowered right away. Auto-login by other functionalities can also lower the barrier. Herefor, if you still want to be sure that only the authorized user can login, you can force them to use two factor authentication. Here below you can see how to set 2FA and what to do if the device has been lost.

When the administrator of the BizzMine-account has enabled two factor authentication, the user will get to see the regular login page as he/she is familiar with.

If it's the first time, logging in after 2FA has been enabled, then the end user will be required to link a 2FA device to the user account, therefor the user must first login as usual.

1. Login with e-mail address or username and password

The authenticator app will provide the user a 6 digit code, which must be entered in the field to connect this device as 2FA device to this user account.
