What is 'Two Factor Authentication'?

Ever had malware or spyware on your computer? It happens to the best of us. What if some malicious browser 'toolbar' steals your Spotler SendPro login? The attacker would then potentially have access to all the e-mails you can access via the Spotler SendPro dashboard. But don't panic! Enabling two-factor authentication for your Spotler SendPro login means you need an additional one-time code to access the account. This code gets sent to your mailbox which only you should be able to access. This extra security layer helps keep your data safe, even when your credentials get stolen.

 

User level Setting up 2FA for your SendPro-account

It's straightforward to add two-factor authentication to your Flowmailer account. Go to the Profile menu in the top right corner (see image). This opens a screen where you can reset your password (do that every so often, too!) and a checkbox for two-factor authentication.

Once opted for 2FA, an email with a verification code is sent to the email address that belongs to this account.

Account level Setting up 2FA for your SendPro-account

It is possible to activate 2FA on account level. Please contact Support if you want to make this mandatory for your account.
