Introduction
In today's digital landscape, securing your online accounts is paramount. BoloForms Signature, with its user-friendly interface and robust security features, ensures that your digital signatures and esignatures are well-protected. One essential security feature is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This guide will walk you through what 2FA is, how it works, and how to set it up in BoloForms Signature to safeguard your account.
What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process that adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts. It requires two forms of verification to access an account: something you know (like a password) and something you have (like an OTP from an authenticator app). This dual-layer security helps prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that your digital signatures and esignatures remain secure.

FAQs-
What is Two-Factor Authentication and How Does It Work?
Ans. Two-factor authentication is a method of confirming a user's identity by using two different factors: something they know (password) and something they have (OTP from an authenticator app). This combination makes it significantly harder for unauthorized individuals to gain access to an account.
What is an Example of Two-Factor Authentication?
Ans. An example of two-factor authentication is when you log into your bank account online. You enter your password (first factor), and then you receive a text message on your phone with a one-time password (OTP) that you must enter (second factor).
What is the Difference Between OTP and 2FA?
Ans. OTP (One-Time Password) is a part of 2FA. OTP is a single-use password that is typically sent to a user’s phone or email. 2FA involves using OTP along with another factor (like a password) to enhance security.
How Do I Get a Two-Factor Authentication Code?
Ans. To get a 2FA code, you need to set up an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy) on your smartphone. Once set up, the app will generate time-sensitive codes that you will use to log in to your account.
