Only when you have access to your Soctrip account can you enable two-factor authentication. If you can't access your account, learn about how to set a new password.
Two-factor authentication is a security feature (optional) for personal accounts on Soctrip. Accordingly, users will have to enter a security code provided by a third-party security service when trying to log in to their account from a new device or browser.
If you haven't saved your password in the browser you're using, you'll be asked to do so when you turn on two-factor authentication. Don't Save your password if you're using a public computer accessible to others. If you save your password, you won't have to enter your security code when you log in again.
In addition to password, two-factor authentication is a security feature to protect your Soctrip account in case your password is stolen.
