The two-factor authentication is an authentication method that uses two disparate factors to verify the identity of a user.

If you enable the two-factor authentication, you will be prompted for your "login name and password" and "verification code" whenever you log in to cybozu.cn.
You obtain the "verification code" from the authentication app installed on your mobile device.

Using two-factor authentication enables you to prevent unauthorized access by third parties even when they identified the combination of the user's login name and password. It is because it requires the authentication that uses "the mobile device that only the user possesses" for a successful login.

If you enable the two-factor authentication, you must provide the "verification code" when configuring login settings on the mobile app.
