JAKARTA - Zoom's video conferencing service adds a new security feature, namely, two-factor authentication (2FA). This aims to make it easier for admins to protect their users and prevent security breaches right from the platform.
In its official website, quoted Sunday, September 13, Zoom said two-factor authentication will identify online users by asking them to show two or more evidence or credentials that authenticate their account ownership.
Such authentication can be something the user knows, such as a password or pin, something the user has, such as a mobile device, or something the user has, such as a fingerprint or voice.
"Zoom 2FA in our unified communications platform provides a secure way to validate users and protect against security breaches and provides a number of benefits," wrote Zoom.
