Two-factor Authentication Now Available

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare introduces two-factor authentication for all its accounts in an effort to enhance website and account security. The feature, developed with the help of Authy, offers an extra layer of protection by requiring users to provide a unique, 7-digit authentication token generated by the Authy app on their mobile devices along with their email address and password when logging into their Cloudflare accounts. This additional step ensures that even if someone knows your email and password, they still cannot access your account without the authentication token. The feature is optional but recommended for all users who want to improve their account security.
