This authentication code can only be used once and is either sent to your phone via SMS or generated by an authenticator app. This means that without having both your password and mobile device, nobody will be able to access your account.<\/p>\n<h2>Why now?<\/h2>\n<p>With the recent launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gosquared.com\/software\/people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">People Analytics<\/a>, GoSquared is giving teams ever more powerful access to information on their visitors, users and customers. We want to lead the way in giving our customers easy access to the information they need, while ensuring security is deeply embedded in every aspect of the GoSquared platform.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gosquared.com\/settings\/security#2fa\/setup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GoSquared customers can set up two-factor authentication here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GoSquared now supports two-factor authentication!
