How-to enhance Stomio workspace security with two-factor authentication

At Stomio, your security is top priority. We're excited to announce the rollout of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Whether you're logging in with a regular username and password or through Google Login, you can now enhance the security of your Stomio account using any authenticator app such as Google Authenticator. This added layer of security ensures that your account remains safe and secure, even if your password is compromised!

What is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-Factor Authentication is a security process that requires two separate forms of identification before granting access to an account. Typically, these forms of identification include something you know (your password) and something you have (a code from an authenticator app).

Advantages of Using MFA

Implementing MFA on your Stomio account provides numerous benefits:

Enhanced Security: Adding a second layer of security makes it significantly harder for unauthorized users to access your account.
Be in compliance: Many security certifications such as Soc 2 require that tools used by enterprises have MFA enabled.
Protection Against Phishing: Even if your password is stolen through phishing, the attacker would still need your MFA code to gain access.
Increased Confidence: Knowing that your account is secured by MFA gives you peace of mind.
