Here’s how you can turn on 2-factor authentication for your account.

IMPORTANT:
IF you are a part of a larger organization, or if you are using a company email account, you may need administrator access to activate your company’s email settings. Your administrator will need to turn on a setting that allows individuals on the company email to turn “ON” 2-factor authentication themselves. They can use this article to do that.

Why? Sometimes the settings for 2-factor authentication are set to “OFF” for an entire company’s email system. If this is the case, you will not be able to turn on your 2-factor settings, as the entire company has been restricted. 

Only your admin can unlock this, and allow individual users to setup their own 2-factor authentication.

Don’t worry. It’s straightforward and just requires a few steps. If you want us to walk you through it click here to book an appointment.
