Created by Aleksandra Furundzic, Modified on Tue, 10 Sep at 1:57 PM by Aleksandra Furundzic


At SyncSpider, we prioritize the security of your account. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a powerful way to protect your data by adding an extra layer of security. 


2FA ensures that even if someone has your credentials, they cannot access your account without a verification code. 


This article will guide you through the steps to enable 2FA for your SyncSpider account in just a few minutes.

Note: For Google and Facebook login options, no additional MFA is required by our side, as these are third-party SSO providers that manage their own security configurations. It is up to users to enable MFA within their respective Google or Facebook accounts.
