      Enabling Two Factor Authentication


      Two-Factor Authentication, or 2FA, is an optional setting which requires additional verification information when you and/or your patients login. The following guide will walk you through how to find this setting, enable or disable it for you and your patients, and complete the verification steps required.

      ‍2FA Rules and Troubleshooting

      1. If you don’t receive the verification code, you can request a new one after 90 seconds. If you don’t receive that second code, contact your account representative.
      2. 2FA requires that you verify your phone number each time you login, except when inCytes™ (1) recognizes your device and (2) recognizes the Wi-Fi network you are using to login. Keep these consistent if you want simpler but secure logins.
      3. You can enable 2FA for you and your team, and/or your patients. Please consider the balance between security and more burdensome logins before selecting the settings which are best for you.
