Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is completely your choice! This gives an option to add an extra layer of security, by need an external verification code when logging in.

Is Two-Factor Authentication Suitable for our business?

2FA is a fantastic feature for boosting security during login by adding an extra verification step. However, it requires access to a smart device, which might not be practical for everyone, especially employees who don't have smartphones. In this case, a great alternative is to enable 2FA just for admin users who deal with sensitive information. This way, we can enhance security for key users while keeping things accessible for everyone else.

Is Stribe Still Safe Without Using 2FA?

Absolutely! Stribe remains secure even without 2FA. Our login process is quite unique and secure—when you try to log in, a magic link is sent directly to your email. This means only the person attempting to access Stribe can use the link, providing an extra layer of protection. Plus, we encourage everyone to use a strong, unique password to further protect your account. With these measures in place, you can trust that Stribe is a safe platform for all users.
