Two-Factor Authentication provides administrators with an extra level of security when Learners log in to Tovuti.
A “factor” refers to the method used to log in to a user’s account; including passwords, physical objects, or a personal trait such as a fingerprint. Inputting multiple factors when logging in conclusively verifies the identity of the user.
