Two-Factor Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

For added security, your ClinicOffice database can optionally be protected with two-factor authentication (2FA). You can choose whether to implement this with SMS messages or via an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator).

Once your ClinicOffice database has been configured with two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app, the next step is to make sure you have an authenticator app on your mobile device.

We recommend Google Authenticator (although you can use many others like Microsoft Authenticator, Twilio Authy).
