How to set up Two Factor Authentication?

Your AppsCo account contains different sensitive information  To keep it safe, we strongly recommend enabling 2-step verification. Two-factor authentication decreases the probability that an attacker can impersonate a user and gain access to an account and important resources. 

Enable Two Factor Authentication

To enable Two Factor Authentication, go to My Account in the upper right corner.

Two factor authentication will be enabled on your APpsCo account and each time you try to log in, after entering username and password, you will also need to enter a code generated in Google Authenticator application on your mobile device. 

Once the 2FA is setup, we advise you copy the recovery codes and keep them safe on several different devices or documents. In case you loose or change your phone, these codes will help you login to your account and prevent from being locked out. 

Go to My Account page, click Manage on the Two Factor Authentication page.
