9.3.2 2FA Policy

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security process in which two different authentication factors must be provided to verify your identity. It helps protect your CloudCX account from unauthorized access by adding a second-level security layer to your primary-level authentication. The 2FA process is not necessary for all sites. However, CloudCX suggests that it should be set up to enhance your account security further. With more robust security like 2FA, you can secure your customer's valuable data from unauthorized access and other cybercrime.
