Two Factor Authentication

What is Two Factor Authentication

Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security measure that requires the user to provide a second verification factor to gain access to the Cloudamize console. This is a core component of a strong identity and access management (or IAM policy). This helps to decrease the likelihood of a successful cyber attack.

What’s New

When you first open https://console.cloudamize.com/#/login, You will start by entering your User ID so that we can check if 2FA is setup prior to entering the rest of your credentials.
