Enable 2-step verification in Storegate

2-step verification or multi-factor authentication is a security measure that requires users to provide two forms of identification to access their account. This helps protect against unauthorized access, as it makes it more difficult for attackers to gain access to an account. Storegate recommends this feature for all users and offers it free of charge as an additional security measure.

4. Enter your account password
5. Scan the QR code with your Authenticator app and enter the code that appears in the app.
6. Save the recovery code (Important!) in a safe place and click Activate.
7. You are now ready!

For Multi-accounts (multi-user accounts):
