Introduction:
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to verify their identity using two different factors, typically something they know (password) and something they have (a phone or security key). This extra layer of protection helps prevent unauthorized access, even if a password is compromised.
With 2-factor authentication (2FA), you add an extra layer of security to your account. After you set it up, you’ll sign in to your account in three or two steps depending on your device:

Note:
- To enable 2FA, you can try logging into any SSO application including MyAccount.ibsscorp.com.
- To manage your 2FA, you have to log in to MyAccount.ibsscorp.com.
