Previously, our Crelate Administrators had the ability to utilize only email and/or phone for two factor authentication as an extra layer of security for logging in to Crelate. We have added the ability to use Authenticator apps (I.e., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, and others) for two factor authentication.
After our July release, all users will now see a 3rd option to activate via an Authenticator app. We encourage all Crelate customers to enable and require 2FA authentication in their organizations as a best practice.
