Secure your account with Two-Factor Authentication
What is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a method of confirming your identity by using two different methods.
The first method is your password, and the second method is a code that is sent to your phone.
This code is only valid for a short period of time, and it is only valid for one login attempt.
This means that even if someone gets your password, they will not be able to log in to your account without also having access to your phone.
In conduit, we support two-factor authentication using phone based authentication and qr code based authentication.
