How To Enable Two Factor Authentication (2FA) For Your Account

The Two Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security process in which you must provide an additional verification prior to logging into your account. This alternative authentication process involves the use of either Authy or Google Authenticator App to generate a token after entering your email and password. Kindly note that this setup is on a per account basis, i.e. each of the sub-user accounts need to set it up respectively.
