What is Two Factor Authentication?

Written by Daria Nasedkina

Note: Two Factor Authentication is ON by default.

Two Factor Authentication provides an additional layer of protection for your data if somebody discovers or guesses your username and password.

How it works

When enabled, you're asked to enter a four-digit passcode whenever you successfully log in to the LMS with a device we don't recognise. Your device may not be recognised if:

  • You haven't logged in before.

  • Your IP address has changed.

  • A software update was applied to your PC.

You enter the passcode to confirm it's you, and the device is then remembered so you won't be asked again unless you log in from a device we don't recognise.

Why it's recommended

Two Factor Authentication is an effective defence against attempts to steal your data. We strongly recommend keeping it enabled.
