2-factor authentication

In the Configuration area, the "Security" section has been newly created. There you find now the possibility to enable a 2-factor authentication for the planners' login. In addition, you can make settings here for password security for both planners and employees.

What is 2-factor authentication?
 

To protect your data and that of your employees from access by strangers, Staffcloud also introduces an additional security level. With two-factor authentication, your account is not only secured by your user name and the associated password, but also by an additional query. The additional security level usually consists of a request for a uniquely generated password that is only valid for this one login. You will receive the required code for the login via e-mail or SMS.
