Social Tap 2FA
Site security with two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication adds another layer of security to your website and is an effective way to stop unauthorised access. It works by confirming your identity with two elements, or factors, rather than just your login credentials.
In terms of accessing your Social Tap built website, this means providing your username and password, but then also adding a code generated by an app.
