We're thrilled to announce an exciting update to our candidate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) feature, making it even more accessible and flexible for your applicants!
Expanding Candidate Account Security with SMS Verification
Building on our commitment to providing robust security and a seamless candidate experience, we've added the option for candidates to receive their 2FA verification codes via SMS. This enhancement offers greater flexibility and convenience, ensuring candidates can securely access their accounts using their preferred method.
Adding this options addresses the diverse needs of your applicant pool, particularly those who may not have access to authenticator apps or prefer the familiarity and ease of SMS.
How SMS 2FA Works
Just like our existing 2FA options, SMS verification adds an extra layer of protection to candidate accounts. Here's how it works:
- After entering their username and password, candidates will be prompted for an authentication code.
- Candidates receive their code via email, authenticator app or SMS, depending on their initial selection.
- Once the correct code is entered, they will be logged in as normal.
Key Benefits of SMS 2FA
