- If you had Two-Factor Authentication enabled prior to May 1st 2021, you can continue to use the feature without interruption.
- In the event you encounter an issue with an instance of Two-Factor Authentication that was setup prior to May 1st 2021, please contact TempWorks Support.
What is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-Factor Authentication is an added security layer that is used in conjunction with a password to allow access to an online account.
If someone gets a hold of your username and password, they would typically be able to log in as you. With the Two-Factor Authentication activated, this person would not only need your username and password but they would also need an authentication code before they would be able to log in. This code is securely emailed to YOU when you attempt to log in.
