Two-step verification for Ylastic logins
Ylastic now supports two-step verification aka multi-factor authentication for even more secure sign-ins for your Ylastic accounts. It is an optional security feature that is a snap to set up, manage and use. Two-step verification requires two means of identification for signing in to your Ylastic account:
- Something you know - your password
- Something you must physically possess - a time-sensitive code generated on your mobile phone
How easy is it to use? Install a free app available for both the iPhone and Android in their respective app stores on your mobile phone for generating the codes.
Set up a profile for Ylastic on your mobile phone using either iOTP or DroidOTP. Generate a secret code using the app (this will be a random string that will be impossible for anyone to guess).
Provide your password on the initial login screen, and then if two-step verification is enabled for your account, you type in the verification code generated on your phone by providing the pin. No special devices or tokens needed for generating the code. You can even indicate that you do not want be asked for the verification code again for upto two weeks on a computer that you trust.
Here are some screenshots using iOTP on my iPhone to generate the verification code by typing in my pin.
Type this code in to the verification dialog in Ylastic. That's it ! Check it out and let us know what you think :-)
