2 Step Verification (sometimes called 2 Factor Authentication, 2FA) adds an additional layer of security to your Enthuse account. When enabled, a password alone is not enough to log in to your account - you’ll also be prompted to enter a code sent via text message, or using a mobile app. This protects your sensitive donor information safe from unauthorised access.

We’ve made setting up 2SV as easy as possible. When you log in, you'll be prompted to set up 2SV on your account via text message or the Authy app.
