Two-factor login / two-step login
A strong password goes a long way, but by adding a two-step login, you increase the security even more.
Two-factor authentication, or two-step login, means that both passwords and code are required to log in.
You get the code via an app in your mobile phone.
This makes it much more difficult for any unauthorized person to log in to your account.
One advantage is that you can have the same password for several sites because the code is different for all sites.
You get a new code every 30 seconds in your app and this code is linked to your login with Ballou.
Examples of apps:
- Android: Google Authentication for Android, Microsoft Authenticator
- Iphone: Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator
