As a practitioner, being part of the digital world is unavoidable. Therefore, it’s very important to make sure that all sensitive data is stored securely and cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons. The system offers a Two-factor Authentication function to add an extra layer of security when logging in to your account. Aside from a standard username and password, you’ll get a 6-digit code on your phone through the Google Authenticator app you have to use to log in to the system.
