We know how important security is to our customers and to the email signatures they create for employees with Bybrand<\/a>. Therefore, we are introducing the two-factor authentication (2FA) feature, and this article is yet another incentive for you, our customer, to install additional protection on your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logins can be further protected with two-factor authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Verizon Business 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report<\/a>, 85% of all corporate data breaches involve a human element. This means that credentials can be jeopardized, whether by exploits, notes of passwords or loss of it, laptops with stolen keys, logins to phishing sites, unsafe public Wi-Fi networks, or employees who do not follow company security guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling two-factor authentication<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you enable two-factor authentication on your Bybrand account, you are automatically creating an additional layer of effective security, limiting vulnerabilities in the event of a compromised password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-factor authentication is an optional security feature that requires the user, to provide two means of identification to access a restricted area.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For your Bybrand account, this includes your standard login credentials (email address and password) as well as a random verification code sent to your mobile phone (SMS message or a TOTP authentication app).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
