Our 2FA works with any OATH software such as Google Authentication for Android, or Apple’s OATH Token App for example.
Once activated, users will be required to provide a second form of Authentication that only they have access to. This Authentication comes in the form of a 6 digit passcode that expires every 30 seconds.
Upon initial setup you will be presented with a QR code to scan using your smartphone or tablet device.
Once this is scanned, the device will then store the authorization to generate a pass code and authenticate to your client area.
Every 30 seconds, a new 6 digit code will be generated through your OATH application of choice which will be used as your second form of Authentication during login to your client area.
Many individuals tend to use the same password for all of their login points. In the event that a malicious users gains access to one
login, they could potentially gain access to all other login-required sites – Like your Hosterbox client area.
Two-Factor Authentication puts a stop to that by requiring users who succesfully login in with a user & password combintation to use a physical device they posses for futher verification.
