Two-Step Verification

What is Two-Step Verification?

Two-Step Verification is an additional security feature for your Church Account that helps prevent anyone from using your account even if they know your password. You may set up as many options as you wish.

Additional factors for verifying your identity may include responding to a Push notification on your mobile device, entering a code generated through the Google Authenticator App, entering a code received via SMS messaging, or tapping a Security Key device.
