2FA & SSO

What is 2FA and SSO and how do you enable it?

2FA
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a specific type of multi-factor authentication (MFA) that strengthens access security by requiring two authentication factors to verify your identity when logging on to platforms. These two factors are typically a username and password, as well as a smartphone app such as Google Authenticator, which is the one we recommend you use. The app is what you'll apply to approve authentication requests.

2FA protects against phishing, social engineering and password brute-force attacks and secures your login as passwords are often weak and easy to guess. 

How do I install 2FA on my account? 

Go to settings > account > 2FA 

Enter your password to the left, and confirm it again on the right side. Then, click "enable". 

NB: If you log in, and/or sign up using SSO, you will not be able to log in using credentials, as these will be non existent. Once you are logged in, using SSO, you'll be able to use your credentials to enable 2FA

A pop up will appear with your QR code on the left, and a few recovery codes on the right. Make sure to save these, as you might need them in the future. 
The QR and codes will only be shown once, and they will be destroyed when you close this dialogue window. 
Scanning the QR code will generate a 6 figure code which will appear on your authenticator app of choice. Apply the 6 digits to the platform, and you will receive a confirmation message that you now have enabled 2FA. 

How do I disable 2FA? 
Enter your password in the required fields, then click "disable" 


SSO
Our SSO login feature allows you to log in to our platform, using your email. 
When you go to platform.easytranslate.com, you'll see the login page, and right below the fields where you enter your credentials, you'll have the ability to log in using SSO.

Using our SSO login feature, you won't need to log in using your credentials, but you can simply click on the google sign in button, and you'll receive a pop up window asking you to select the google account that you'd like to log in with. 

Please note that this feature is only available if you have a google email. 

NB: If you log in, and/or sign up using SSO, you will not be able to log in using credentials, as these will be non existent. Once you are logged in, using SSO, you'll be able to use your credentials to enable 2FA
