Two-factor authentication is a security system that provides additional protection for your online accounts. It works by requiring a time-based one-time password, in addition to your username and password, when logging into your Vivio Portal account.
To get started, you will need to install a token generator application on your mobile phone, such as Google Authenticator, Duo Mobile, or Authy.
