Enhance the security of your TimeClock 365 account by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). When 2FA is active, a user must provide a second form of verification in addition to their password, making it significantly harder for unauthorized users to gain access.
TimeClock 365 supports two methods for 2FA:
- Email Verification: A one-time code is sent to the user’s email address.
- Authenticator App: A one-time code is generated by an authenticator app, such as Microsoft Authenticator.
This guide explains how an administrator can enable one of these methods for a specific user.
