Great news!

You now have the option to make your Spectora account more secure. 🔐

Customers have been asking us for two-factor authentication (2FA), and now it’s available for you to enable–if you choose.

**You'll use 2FA at every login; after a one-time setup.**

What’s 2FA?

  • It’s an extra layer of security for your account.

  • Instead of just one step (entering your email and password), a second step is required to prove you own the account each time you log in.

Why is 2FA a smart option?

  • If your account is hacked, data could be stolen and used fraudulently.

  • You’ve worked hard to build your business; 2FA can help you defend it.

How will 2FA work?

  • In User Options, you’ll set it up for your web logins (this does not apply to the Spectora mobile app).

  • Set up requires a sync of your mobile device to your Spectora account, using an authenticator app.

  • We’ll walk you through the process on-screen and you’ll be all set in minutes.

  • For all subsequent logins on the web, you’ll be prompted to enter a 2FA code.

    • Authenticator apps generate fresh codes about every 30 seconds.

    • For EACH login, you'll need to open your authenticator app to retrieve a fresh code.

**For EACH login, you'll open your authenticator app to retrieve a fresh code.**

What if you can't access your authenticator app?

  • During the 2FA setup process, we'll provide you with backup codes you'll download and keep somewhere safe--ready for just this occasion.

We hope you’ll enable this security feature and sleep a little better tonight! 😴
