Security

You can change your password from here by entering your current password and then entering and confirming your new password. We recommend you periodically update your Sign In App portal password to help keep your account secure.

Two-factor authentication

2FA is an extra layer of security that makes sure people trying to gain access to the Sign In App portal are who they say they are. With 2FA enabled, you will first be asked to log in with your email and password as usual. Then, instead of immediately gaining access, you will be required to provide another piece of information.

Two factor authentication requires this to be either 1) Something you know, 2) Something you have or 3) Something you are. For Sign In App, we ask that you download and install a free 2FA app on your smartphone or desktop. Once this is set up, you can enter the code shown on the app when prompted. This 'soft-token' is valid for less than a minute. Because the code is generated and displayed on the same device, soft-tokens remove the chance of hacker interception.

2FA is optional, but we recommend you enable it for yourself and all of your portal users. To get started, click Enable under Two Factor Auth. A window will appear with instructions to walk you through the process of downloading the app, scanning the QR code and entering your first code. Once 2FA is enabled you will need to use your app each time you log in. You can disable 2FA at any time from this screen.

Tip

Head to Manage and under manage account and select Password policy to enforce password expiration and two factor authentication for portal users.
