What is two-factor authentication?


Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, is a subset of multi-factor authentication and adds an extra layer of security by requiring an additional login step. After entering a password to log in, you’ll be asked to provide a security key which can come in the form of a numerical code, barcode, QR code, or other piece of information. Only by providing the right information will you be granted access to the account.

If a password is stolen or leaked online by a hacker and someone else is trying to log in to your account, they won’t be able to without the 2-factor authentication!

How does two-factor authentication work?

Provide login credentials

The first half of the authentication process involves you entering your account login and password.

Passcode is sent to iPhone

Your chosen authenticator app will generate a unique verification code on-screen as a QR code to scan or numerical code via text message. These tokens will vary across different 2FA apps.

Verify the token

Your iPhone will then prompt you to confirm the unique token. This can be done by scanning the qr code or entering the numerical string sent to your iPhone.

Why use two-factor authentication?

The right two-factor authentication app makes your iPhone more secure, without slowing down your day.

Add extra protection

Worried about phishing attacks or malware? Two-factor authentication keeps hackers locked out.

Combining 2-step verification with a password manager eliminates the need to remember your passwords!

“Ik vind het handig dat LastPass zo makkelijk en intuïtief werkt. Het integreert goed met alle websites en ik kan de inloggegevens voor al mijn zakelijke accounts en privéaccounts veilig versleutelen. Ik kan mappen organiseren, toegang delen met anderen en ik hoef maar één hoofdwachtwoord te onthouden, terwijl alles veilig blijft. Dat is echt een opluchting.”

“Ik gebruik LastPass zowel zakelijk als privé. Ik kan veilig wachtwoorden opslaan en delen met collega's of met mijn gezin in aparte omgevingen, en het maakt heel eenvoudig willekeurige sterke wachtwoorden voor me aan. Dat voorkomt dat ik overal hetzelfde wachtwoord gebruik.”

“We werken met gegevens van anderen. Dan is LastPass echt onmisbaar. We gebruiken het om de gevoelige aanmeldingsgegevens van onze klanten te organiseren en het werkt echt altijd. Door het beveiligingsniveau kunnen we flexibel zijn als een leverancier of een teamlid toegang nodig heeft, maar we niet het daadwerkelijke wachtwoord willen geven.”
