2-Step Verification, now a mandatory requirement, adds an extra layer of security to keep your Buildxact account and data safe. When logging in to Buildxact, you must enter a verification code sent to you, ensuring only authorized individuals can gain account access.
Why is 2-Step Verification Mandatory?
The adoption of mandatory 2-Step Verification by Buildxact ensures enhanced protection for user accounts and aligns with security protocols designed to prevent unauthorized access.
When setting up 2-Step Verification, you will be prompted to download an app on your phone which will provide you with a randomly generated code to prove your identity.
NOTE: You may also select to set up 2-Step Verification via email instead of using an authenticator app. Email verification is part of the new mandatory security updates implemented to enhance platform security.
Transition from Password-Based Logins
To adapt to rising security standards, Buildxact users now experience login changes such as stronger authentication methods, including one-time verification codes sent via email or authentication apps. In some cases, passwords are being phased out entirely to prioritize security.
