Its important that your account with intelligentcontract.com remains secure. In line with other cloud based services we have introduced the option to secure your account with two-factor authentication?
What is Two-Factor Authentication?
By default, your intelligentcontract.com account is accessed using a username (normally your email address) and a password. When a user switches on this feature for their account they will be prompted for a 6-digit number. This number is generated on a smart device and changes every 30 seconds. If the user types the correct number access is granted. Username/password and this second level of security based on a 6-digit number is what is known as two-factor authentication.
Switching on Two-Factor Authentication
Each user has the option to switch on Two-factor authentication for their individual login. To switch on this feature:
Click on "logout card" and then the "My settings" link.
