Two-factor authentication (also called two-step authentication or multi-factor authentication) is a procedure that offers a higher level of security.
When you log into your shop's control panel, you need to complete two distinct steps:
Enter your email and password to login
Enter the code generated by the mobile app or use one of the backup codes.
With two-factor authentication, your account is more secure, as even if someone finds out your password, they won't be able to log in without the second authentication step.
Two-factor authentication is available to all users who manage a store.
It is not possible for the store owner to set up two-factor authentication for his team members.
