What is 2FA?
Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication, is a security process in which users provide two different authentication methods to verify themselves. In most cases, this is an account login (username & password) and a token or "code" sent to an account owners phone - via SMS/text or call.
Below is an example of the 2FA verification prompt seen when logging into LocalLook.
Why Use 2FA?
Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process by making it harder for attackers to gain access to a person's devices or online accounts because, even if the victim's password is hacked, a password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check.
Can I disable 2FA on my account?
No, 2FA is required for all LocalLook accounts.
TIP: If you consistently use the same device (laptop, tablet, etc..) to access LocalLook, you can check the box labeled “Trust this device for 30 days” before clicking the “Verify” button. This feature will prevent you from having to reverify your identity each time you log in on that device for a span of 30 days. After 30 days, you’ll need to re-verify your identity.
NOTE: There can be only 1 trusted device on your account at a time. If you use multiple devices to log in, we suggest setting your most-used device as the trusted device. You will still need to verify your identity each time you log in from your secondary device. Checking this box when logging in from another device with overwrite the current trusted device.
REMINDER: NEVER SHARE YOUR PASSWORD OR AUTHENTICATION CODE WITH OTHERS.
Protecting your personal data is one of our top priorities, and the first step in account security is making sure you're the only one who can access your account.
REMEMBER: ACCOUNT SHARING IS PROHIBITED.
Accounts found to be sharing logins are subject to cancellation without refund. See Terms & Conditions for more details.
Multi-user Team plans are available for accounts needing access by multiple users.
