Everything you need to know about Multi-Factor authentication
What's MFA?
MFA is like the secret handshake that only you and your best friend know. It's a security measure that goes beyond your password. When you log in, MFA asks for something extra – something that only you have access to, which, in our case, is a one-time use code. In other words, it's like adding a second lock to your door.
This feature makes it more difficult for unauthorized users to access your account even if they have your password. It is a simple and effective way to protect accounts from being hacked.
In our case, you'll need to enter a one-time code sent to your email or generated by an app on your mobile device each time you log in.
MFA isn't here to make your life harder. It's here to make it safer. We want you to enjoy your experience with us without worrying about cybersecurity hiccups.
Why Are We Doing This?
You might be wondering why we're adding this extra step to your login process. We're doing it to keep your Crimson Circle account as safe as a vault. Cybersecurity is like a never-ending game of cat and mouse, and we want to make sure you're always the cat!
- Protecting Your Info: Your Crimson Circle account holds precious details like your purchase history, personal info, and credit card details. MFA makes it way tougher for bad actors to sneak in and get their paws on your stuff.
- No More Password Stress: With MFA, you can breathe easy knowing that even if someone gets hold of your password (which we hope never happens), they won't get very far without that extra layer of authentication.
- You're in Control: With MFA, you get to choose how you want to prove you're you. Whether it's through an authenticator app or email, you're the boss of your own security.
How Does It Work?
Just login like you normally do, and when prompted, choose how you want to verify your identity – either through an authenticator app (Google or Microsoft) or via email. It's as simple as a few clicks, and you're good to go.
Once the MFA process is activated, please check our detailed step-by-step process to set it up.
