Enhancing Security with Two-factor Authentication at Incentivate

Incentivate, a no-code sales performance management, reporting, and analytics platform, is pleased to introduce its new feature - Two-factor authentication. The feature adds an extra layer of security, reduces breaches, and boosts user trust in software.

Personal and financial data security has never been more crucial in our digital world. At Incentivate, we understand that protecting this data is not just a feature but a necessity. We are thrilled to announce the launch of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), a robust security feature designed to fortify your account against unauthorized access.

What is Two-factor Authentication?

Two-factor authentication is an enhanced security measure that requires two forms of identification to access an account. Typically, this includes something you know (your password) and something you have (a device that generates a time-based code). By introducing this additional layer, 2FA dramatically decreases the likelihood of unauthorized access, even if someone else knows your password.

Why We Implemented 2FA?

Our decision to implement 2FA stemmed from our commitment to safeguarding your sensitive data. In today's environment, where data breaches and cyber threats are increasingly common, securing access to critical systems is paramount. 2FA ensures that the person attempting to gain access is who they claim to be, providing an additional layer of security.

Supported Authentication Apps

To accommodate a wide range of preferences and enhance user accessibility, our 2FA system supports several time-based one-time password (TOTP) apps, including:

• Google Authenticator
• Microsoft Authenticator
• Authy

These apps are trusted widely, and users can select the tool that best suits their needs.

How Does TOTP Work?

TOTP stands for Time-Based One-Time Password. It generates a temporary code that changes every 30 seconds. To log into your Incentivate account, you will enter your password and then the code displayed on your app at that moment. This code, which can be used only once, serves as a second password that's virtually impossible for attackers to replicate.

Benefits of 2FA for Incentivate Users

The introduction of 2FA brings numerous benefits:

• Enhanced Security: By requiring a second form of authentication, 2FA makes it much harder for potential intruders to access your account.
• Peace of Mind: Users can rest assured knowing that their critical sales and commission data are better protected against cyber threats.
• Compliance Advantages: Many industries require adherence to strict data protection standards, which 2FA meets or exceeds, thereby facilitating compliance.

Conclusion

Introducing Two-Factor Authentication is a significant step forward in our ongoing effort to enhance security. Keeping your data safe remains our top priority as we continue to develop and improve Incentivate. We believe that 2FA will make a critical difference in securing your accounts so you can focus more on what matters most driving sales and growth.
