A handful of our friends had some issues with a bad actor recently. Someone got a hold of their password and reset their (hard worked) statistics. This prompted us to add the following functionalities:
2-Factor Authentication
A password alone can be revealed via numerous methods. After all, it’s just a bit of text. If someone gets your password, normally they can do whatever they want to your account. When you add a 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) in the mix, you get an extra step before you’re allowed to log in. It’s not dependent on your password alone, but a time-based code which is generated by a password manager, or an authenticator app on your phone.
Starting today, you can set up 2FA on your WhatPulse account. Here’s more information on how to do just that.
When you’ve enabled 2FA you’ll be prompted for an extra One-Time Password
2FA is in (semi-)beta. We’ve tested it thoroughly, but would like to see some of you use it before we pull off the ‘beta’ label. ;-) Let us know if you have any issues!
Notifications on Login
The second feature we’ve added is a simple one: get notified when a login happens on your account. You’ll instantly be in the loop when a login happens, so you can monitor activity on your account.
