• when logging in to your account, except from your username and password you will be asked to insert a security 6-digit code from Google Authenticator application
• Google Authenticator generates the security code every 30 sec.

Additional security - How does it protect you?

You remember your username and password. But what would happen if somebody else found it out? A stranger could easily log into your account and steal your private data and see your communications. You don’t want that! Protect yourself with additional security. Verification codes are unique, and generated in your mobile app (only you have access to your own device).

What happens if you lose access to your Google Authenticator app?

Don’t worry, if you accidentally delete your Google Authenticator app (or lose your phone) you’ll be covered by your account admin. Admins can quickly turn off 2-Step Verification in any agent account.
