Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your VibeTag account. Instead of only entering a password to log in, you’ll also enter a code or use a security key. This additional step helps make sure that you, and only you, can access your account. During enrollment, we’ll also make sure you have a confirmed email address associated with your account. That way, we can use your email address for things like communicating with you to keep your account secure.
After you enable this feature, you will need your password, along with a secondary login method –– either a code, a login confirmation via an app, or a physical security key to log in to your account.
