Team Members can enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). 2FA provides additional account security by requiring you to provide a token during login in addition to your username and password.
This token is retrieved from an application on your mobile phone. Precision uses Authy to provide 2FA. To get started, Team Members should download and install the Authy mobile app for iOS or Android, then follow the instructions below:
Enabling 2FA
Turning on 2FA in Dext Precision is simple. From the drop-down User Menu in the top right of your screen, select Your Settings, then head to Security. Enter your country code (e.g. +44 for the UK) and mobile number and click “Enable”. Or, in case your team has a single login for Dext Prepare and Precision you’ll be able to turn it on from the Dext Platform user settings directly.
| TIP Dext Precision will give you an emergency recovery token that allows you to login if you’ve lost your phone. Take note of it immediately by storing it in a safe secure place, such as a Password Manager |
Logging in with 2FA
If you have 2FA enabled, enter your email address and password like normal, then you’ll be presented with one extra step where you need to enter the 2FA token.
Disabling 2FA
You can disable 2FA in the same place you enabled it. From the drop-down User Menu in the top right of your screen, select Your Settings, then head to Security.
Monitor Adoption of 2FA
If you’re the team owner, you can see which team members have enabled 2FA. From the drop-down User Menu in the top right of your screen, select Team Settings, then head to Team Members:
