Two-Factor Authentication

Enabling two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to a Groundplan Account. This ensures that if Login credentials are compromised, unauthorised access to Groundplan data is prevented.

Please Note:

If you Sign in with Google, two-factor authentication will be bypassed. It is recommended that Google two-factor authentication be activated.

  1. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
