Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring more than just a password to log in. You can use an authenticator app from Google, Microsoft, Authy or simply use your email address.
Gridly offers the ability to set up 2FA for all members in your company or set it up only for your account.
Enforcing 2FA for your company
By enforcing 2FA for your company, your team members must use a 2-factor authentication method before they can log in to Gridly.
Prerequisites
