Two-factor authentication is an important additional security layer for your account. When set up, you need to provide a code to log in. This code can be received via text message, phone call, or an authentication app. 

Note: Setting up two-factor authentication is required in order to map new channels and view credit card details within the Cloudbeds channel manager system.
