Add security to your account. You can use a 2-step authentication when logging into your account preventing unauthorized access. Upon entering password, you'll be asked to insert 6-digit login code from your Google authenticator or a 3rd party app.
You can use this custom feature with or without HIPAA feature depending on your needs and business requirements.
- Please note! In case you have this feature enabled our support agents will not be able to access your account settings.
- As well it will not be possible to connect the account to Zapier.
