Two Factor Authentication by Google

Overview

Two-factor authentication provides a two-step verification procedure using time-based one-time passcodes. It is implemented for the store administrators and is available for iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

The add-on provides a stronger security for your store by requiring a second step of authentication for administrators. In addition to the password, the admin will need a code generated by Google Authenticator application.

This extra security measure will make you feel more safe about the store data as Google states that no fraud will cope with this 2-factor verification.

Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Microsoft have already got it. Just join the list of secured sites. For more examples, please visit https://twofactorauth.org/ .

Dependences

Accurate and synchronized time on the server may be required. Please contact the server administrator or our technical support on the matter.
