Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Password security with DonorDock
In today's online world, data can be a tempting target for cybercriminals. At DonorDock, we recognize the need to keep your Donor information safe and protected.
Usually, account hijackings are carried out by phishing attempts or hackers who take advantage of predictive passwords. It is highly recommended that your organization maintain strong and unique account passwords to help keep your donor information safe.
Your password to DonorDock must be at least eight characters long. Ideally, we recommend a combination of characters and numbers to help make the password as complex yet memorable as possible.
Additionally, enabling Two-Factor authentication (2FA) can provide an extra layer of security to your DonorDock account, even if your password does become compromised.
ππΏββοΈ What is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-factor authentication (2FA), is a security process in which you use two different authentication factors to log into your account. In DonorDock, that second factor is a 6 digit code that is emailed to your registered email address during log in.
ππΌββοΈ Are you required to use 2FA in DonorDock?
2FA is not mandatory, however we strongly recommend enabling the 2FA option on your account. Administrators on your DonorDock account may control your 2FA requirement under your Organization Settings.
