Many websites put users through multiple steps when logging into their accounts. This security measure adds additional obstacles to access, just in case passwords and other sensitive information fall into the hands of hackers. You can find this verification in websites where data security is vital, including banking sites and social media platforms. Now, you can find it on the platform where you run your business.

Shift4Shop’s 2-Factor Authentication stops anyone who is not you from accessing your login for the Shift4Shop Online Store Manager. With this service, you need two pieces of information to reach the Manager module: your password and a six-digit code provided by an authenticator app or service. That code changes every 30 seconds, so even if someone gets your password and a code, they will still be unable to invade your account.
