Two-factor authentication in Bold Reports®
Two-factor authentication (2FA) in Bold Reports® adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access to your account. With 2FA enabled, you enter a verification code generated by your smartphone during each login.
How do I enable or disable two-factor authentication?
You enable or disable Bold Reports® two-factor authentication for a user account from the user profile. To learn how, see Two-factor authentication in the user profile.
How do I sign in when two-factor authentication is enabled?
When 2FA is enabled, the Bold Reports® login page requests a verification code. You can enter the verification code generated by any TOTP (Time-based One-time Password) application, or use a recovery code to confirm your identity.
You can also skip 2FA verification on your future logins by enabling the Don't ask again on this device check box. The following screenshot shows the login page requesting the verification code.
