What is Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-Factor Authentication is a security feature that requires an extra level of verification on an account before access is granted. This provides more security and protection for accounts and management systems and makes it harder for unauthorized access. Not all 2FA systems are the same. Some make use of a hardware token. Some send SMS or voice code. While others use software tokens, push notifications, an email code, and so on. A software token is a time-based and one-time use passcode generated by a software application that is quite popular now and very secure for the Omada platform is the 2FA method we use to enhance the security of your TP-Link ID.
