What is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication, is a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves. Two-Factor Authentication provides a higher level of security than authentication methods that depend on single-factor authentication (SFA), in which the user provides only one factor–typically, a password or passcode.
Two-Factor Authentication methods rely on a user providing a password, as well as a second factor, and in our case, this second factor comes via text to your mobile device.
How to activate Two-Factor Authentication:
You have to be subscribed to a multi-user account. This feature is not available on single-user accounts.
Click on Account in the left-side menu or by selecting Account from the drop-down menu under your Profile Image icon in the upper right-hand corner.
Scroll to Logins. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
You'll be prompted to enter a phone number that is capable of receiving text messages. Note: a country code is required.
We'll send you an SMS with a confirmation code. Enter that code in the blank field in your Artwork Archive account.
The next time you log in, you will be required to perform Two-Factor Authentication using this phone number.
How to disable Two-Factor Authentication:
Click on Account in the left-side menu or by selecting Account from the drop-down menu under your Profile Image icon in the upper right-hand corner.

How to change the phone number associated with your Two-Factor Authentication:

Additional Users can activate Two-Factor Authentication from the Logins section as well.
Click the Edit icon for the Secondary User. Check the box to require Two-Factor Authentication. If the User has Two-Factor Authentication required and they do not activate it, you'll see "Pending Setup" below their email in the Login list.
