2- Step Verification adds an extra layer of security to keep your Buildxact account and data safe, making it harder for an unauthorized person to gain access to your account. When you have 2-Step Verification enabled, you will be required to enter a verification code that is sent to you each time you log in to Buildxact.

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.

You may also select to set up 2-Step Verification via email instead of using an authenticator app.

Recommended Authenticator Apps

The following are industry standard authenticator apps which can be used on your mobile device and are supported by Buildxact:

What if I don't have access to my phone?

If you have lost access to your phone, this is how you can request your 2-step verification code to your email.

At the 2-step verification screen, select Try another method.

You can then select 'Email'

You will then receive an email with the code for you to use.

Note - do not record this code anywhere as it recycles every 60 seconds, similar to your phone's authentication code.
