SMS for Two-Factor Authentication
You can now use SMS (text messaging) to receive your two-factor authentication (2FA) access code, when logging into CardPointe.
To set your 2FA Verification Method to SMS, do the following:
- Click the User icon in the top-right corner, and select My Profile.
- On the Contact Information tab, verify or add your Phone Number, where the access code will be sent.
- In the Two-Factor Authentication section, update the Method to SMS verification.
Note: Once you select SMS verification and click Save, you will not be able to switch back to Email to receive your access code. In a future update, SMS verification will be required for all users.
If you are an Admin or Super Admin and want to configure your Standard users to use SMS 2FA, these same options can be found by navigating to Administration > Users, and selecting the user profile you want to update.
