At Cronometer your privacy is paramount to us, which is why we are happy to announce we have become even more secure with the addition of Two-Factor Authentication.
What Is 2FA?
Two-Factor Authentication is an authentication method in which a user is granted access only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors). Basically, it is the industry best practice for providing an additional layer of security to your Cronometer account.
What Does This Mean For You?
Adding Two-Factor Authentication to your account isn’t necessary – you can continue to use your account as normal. However, if you would like to ensure that your account is more secure here are the steps to turn 2FA on:
How To Enable 2FA In Cronometer
To enable this security feature, you’ll need to download an authenticator app from the App Store or Google Play store such as Google Authenticator.
Then navigate to More > Account > Two-Factor Authentication and follow the steps.
Once enabled, you’ll be prompted to enter the 6-digit code displayed in your authenticator app every time you log in to your Cronometer account.
Make Sure To Save Your Recovery Code
Once 2FA has been successfully enabled, a recovery code will be generated. Make sure you save this code in a secure place. Without a recovery code, we cannot recover your account.
Recover Your Cronometer Account Once 2FA Is Enabled
In the event that you’re unable to login to your account (lost/damaged phone), we can help you recover your account.
Your recovery code will be required to recover your account.
Email support@cronometer.com with the recovery code that you were given during 2FA setup.
