Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or Two Step Verification is a key component of our security framework, intended to protect your content against unauthorised access. This article explains how to login in Limecraft when 2FA is enabled.
In today’s online environment, ensuring the security of your content is critical. At Limecraft, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest level of protection against unauthorised access and theft. One key component of our security framework is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
With 2FA enabled, the login screen will ask a one-time token in addition to the username and password. This token is generated using an Authenticator app on your smartphone, and valid for no more than 30 seconds. This is an essential step to verify your identity, in case someone is guessing or has got access to your password.
Logging in via the Browser app using 2FA
Once 2FA is set up, the login process includes one more step which essential for verifying the identity of the user and thus protecting your content against unauthorised access.
It will consist of three steps:
- Entering your username or email address
- Entering your password
- Entering the verification code from your Authenticator app
Note that, as illustrated by the screenshot, you can also click "Send my token via email". In case you don't have your phone close by, you can always request the code to be sent to you via email.
