NEW BP Security Improvements: 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

[Hilary C.]

Hey everyone! 

I just wanted to bring your attention to a new security feature for BiggerPockets users. We're always striving to make sure your time spent with us better, and in this case, we're aiming to make sure we can do everything in our power to ensure your account is just a little more secure :)

We just launched 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) which provides a little extra security for your account by adding your cell phone as a means of authenticating you in addition to your password. 

Here's how it works:

1) You log-in to BiggerPockets site 

2) You receive an SMS to your phone with a code that you enter on our site.

These 2 factors combined improve security to keep your account, and your information protected from possible hackers.You can update your account to use this feature here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/settings/account

If you have any questions, or concerns - please reply to this post, and a BiggerPockets staff will respond shortly!
