2FA, or two-factor authentication, is an extra security measure that helps protect your Overtracking account from hackers. When you enable 2FA, you will be required to enter a verification code, in addition to your password, every time you log in to your account. This code is generated on your mobile phone through an authentication app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy.
Why is 2FA important?
2FA is important because it makes it much harder for hackers to access your account, even if they have your password. This is because they would also need access to your phone to get the verification code.
How to enable 2FA on your Overtracking account
To enable 2FA on your Overtracking account, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Overtracking account and click on your username in the top right corner of the screen.
- Click on “Profile”.
- Click on “Security”.
- Click the “Set up 2FA” button.
5. Download an authentication app like Authy or Google Authenticator and scan the QR code that appears on your screen.
6. Enter the 6-digit code from the app to confirm that you have set up the code correctly.
Tips for using 2FA
To protect your Overtracking account with 2FA, follow these tips:
- Set up a password to unlock your phone.
