Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in BOS
What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security that provides an extra step to verify your identity when logging into an online account or system. It requires you to provide two different types of authentication factors, typically something you know (such as a password) and something you have (such as a verification code sent to your mobile device). Enabling 2FA in the Botkeeper Operating System (BOS) adds an extra layer of protection to your account, making it more resistant to unauthorized access and enhancing the security of your data.
