What is 2-factor authentication & how can it be used at Buildsimple?

In times of ever-increasing cyber risks, many companies are investing in their own IT security measures. This prevention work can take many forms, with 2-factor authentication being the most popular. With 2FA or multi-factor authentication, it is possible to confirm whether it is the person who actually has the access data to log in. This is then checked and verified using two different devices.

 

Read our article to find out what advantages 2-factor authentication really offers you and how it works.

What is 2FA and why is it so helpful?

Nowadays, a lot of things take place online. With all the services and portals, we have to log in with a username and password to access our accounts. In a normal login process, users try to gain access to a protected area using this stored data. When you attempt to log in, a request is sent to the server for verification. If the data is correct, you have full access to the data.

 

However, passwords, email addresses and usernames can reach the wrong people through data leaks. In Germany, it is also apparent that many users are stuck in the password dilemma: weak and easy to remember or strong and quickly forgotten. Now it is only a matter of time before someone gains free access with this data. 

 

Two-factor authentication (2FA) comes into play to increase security. Once the correct login details have been entered, usually consisting of username and password, you will be prompted to perform a further action. Either a mobile app should be started on a stored end device, a code taken from a stored e-mail or a PIN entered from an automatic telephone call. These steps have the same purpose: to check whether the person behind the login attempt is really the authorized person.

 

With 2FA, it is not enough to combine a single username and password. It must be personally verified in real time that you are the owner of the account and are authorized to access it.

What happens if a 2FA login attempt fails?

Deterred by the additional security of your data or programs, unauthorized persons leave the site and stop trying to access your data. This means that 2-factor authentication has already made a major contribution to your security. If a login attempt has finally failed, most providers will send you an e-mail warning you to reconsider all passwords and security questions. This is similar at Buildsimple, where we also offer you a comprehensive service for setting up, managing and maintaining 2FA security.

 

If a login attempt has failed, we recommend changing your passwords in any case. You should also avoid using the same or similar passwords on other platforms and services. It therefore makes sense to only use a password once and not to recycle old passwords. This is the only way to ensure that your data remains safe from attacks by third parties. 2FA security helps you with this.
