Setting up two-factor authentication in your TurboSMS account

Published: 19 april 2024

A new security feature for your account settings has been implemented.

To enhance the security of your TurboSMS account, you can enable two-factor authentication. Even if an intruder knows your login and password, they won't be able to access your account without entering a code from your email or the Google Authenticator app on your smartphone.

How to activate it?

Go to your account settings and activate one of the two-factor authentication (2FA) methods.

Via Email

Select this option in the security settings (2FA), enter your current TurboSMS account password, and save the settings.

Restricting account access by IP address

You can restrict login to your TurboSMS account from all IP addresses except the allowed ones in your profile settings.

To do this, check the box, add the IP addresses from which login is allowed, enter your current TurboSMS account password, and save the settings.

We do not recommend enabling IP restriction if you have a dynamic IP address or use different locations/connections to access the Internet.
