How to Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication is an additional layer of security that helps protect your SOTA Cloud user account by requiring a second form of authentication beyond your usual password.

SOTA Cloud supports two types of multifactor authentication: authenticator apps and SMS text messages.

To set up multifactor authentication for your SOTA Cloud user account, follow these steps:

1. Click on your name in the top right-hand corner of the home screen and select 'Edit Profile.'
2. From the Edit Profile screen, click 'Advanced.'
3. On the Advanced screen, click 'Manage Two Factor,' and then click 'Add Two Factor.'
4. If you want to use an authenticator app, you can scan the code displayed on the screen with your app. You can use apps like Google Authenticator for this purpose.
5. If you prefer to use SMS text message, click on the 'SMS' option. You will then receive a one-time code on your phone which you can enter into the field provided on the screen.
6. After entering the code, click 'Enable' to activate your SMS two-factor authentication.

Note that while SMS two-factor authentication is better than no authentication at all, we recommend using an authenticator app whenever possible as this is typically a more secure method of two-factor authentication.

By following these steps, you can help protect your SOTA Cloud user account from hackers and other security threats.
