Video meet app Zoom has introduced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for additional security, making it easier for admins and organisations to protect their users data and prevent security breaches.

To enable Zoom's 2FA at the account-level for password-based authentication, account admins sign-in to the Zoom Dashboard.

"In the navigation menu, click Advanced, then Security. Make sure the Sign in with Two-Factor Authentication option is enabled. Select one of these options to enable 2FA for: All users in your account: Enable 2FA for all users in the account," the company said in a statement on Friday.

"Implementing 2FA helps organizations meet compliance obligations for sensitive data and customer information," Zoom said.According to the company, Zoom's 2FA provides a free and effective way to validate users and protect against security breaches. With Zoom's 2FA, users have the option to use authentication apps that support Time-Based One-Time Password protocol , or have Zoom send a code via SMS or phone call, as the second factor of the account authentication process.
