Two-factor Authentication, also called Two-step Authentication or 2FA, increases the security of a user profile. The profile is linked via Google Authenticator or another compatible application to a mobile phone.
When signing in to a Phrase profile, username, password and a security code that is generated on the mobile phone must be provided.
Two-factor authentication has to be enabled on user level. It cannot be enforced for all users by an Administrator.
