What is Two Factor Authentication?
Two factor authentication (2FA or 2SA) provides an extra layer of security when authenticating your login to Wise-Sync and Wise-Pay.
Who requires 2FA?
All users and Payers associated with a Wise-Sync or Wise-Pay Account that has 2FA set to 'Required', will require 2FA to login.
From 1 October 2020, 2FA is required for all users and Payers associated with an Australian based company.
If you have not yet enrolled in an authentication app, you will be emailed a 2FA code to your registered email address. You will be provided with the option to setup an authentication app at login.
- The first layer of security consists of account details that you must remember:
- Your Username and Password
- The second layer consists of something that the user has (i.e. a physical object):
- Where an authenticator app is configured, this would be a mobile device or access to the desktop app; or
- Access to the registered email when an authenticator app has not been setup.
