Two-factor Authentication

Extra-layer login security

It’s time to really lock down your account. Protect yourself with an extra layer of security that doesn’t rely on just usernames and passwords alone. With onCourse’s two-factor authentication (2FA), identifying yourself to an independent device, such as a mobile phone, means that logging in to your account requires both your physical security (the device) and your digital security (your username and password). 2FA is the best way to protect against unauthorised account access.
