Setting up 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) will give you added security for your account. Below will explain a little more about it and show you how to set this up.
Intro to 2 Factor Authentication (2FA)
Typically, logging into your Output Sports account requires just your username and password. With 2FA enabled, logging in will require verification using a code sent to a mobile phone via SMS. By setting up 2FA, the risk of a potential intruder gaining access to your account is much lower and is primarily used for extra security for your account.
Note; The phone number used is only for security reasons
Important; Message and data rates may apply when receiving verification codes
Points to note:
- This feature can only be set-up on Capture
- You can only add 1 phone number
- When setting up/removing 2FA, other devices might be logged out
- Email address (username) needs to be verified to set up 2 Factor Authorisation, otherwise you will be asked to verify your email before setting up your account. If you have ever reset your password manually, then your email is already verified
- 2 Factor Authorisation is not enforced when using Open API
