Before enabling 2FA, it's important to verify that your contact details (email address, mobile phone number) are correct!
If you have shared user/subuser logins, you'll need to set up separate subuser logins for each person that accesses Pinpointe. Please contact Pinpointe Support for assistance.
Pinpointe now supports two-factor authentication (2FA). After you register an authentication method, your account will require you to enter a 6-digit verification code after logging in to access Pinpointe.
After setting up Email 2FA, 2FA can also be set up via SMS text message and a Time-based One-time Password.

- Time-based One-Time Password: Receive the code on your mobile phone via a 2FA authentication app (Authy, Zoho OneAuth, Microsoft Authenticator, etc.) to provide you with a 6-digit verification code
If your haven't set up 2FA via Email the first time around, the next time you log in, you'll be required to register Email as a 2FA method.
