Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Why is Two-Factor Authentication important?

Two-Factor Authentication is important because it significantly improves the security of online accounts such as the Dashboard. Here are a few reasons why it’s important:

• Adds an extra layer of security making it harder for attackers to gain access.

  • Requires you to use a password and a second factor via your mobile phone

• Protects you agaisn’t password theft.

  • An attacker may steal your password via a phising attack, but they would still require the second factor to access the Dashboard account.

• Reduces the impact of using weak passwords.

  • The Dashboard doesn’t advise if your password is weak or not. By enabling two-factor authentication, an attacker could easily guess this weak password, but the second factor would prevent unauthorised access.
