✨ Product Spotlight ✨

Experience the ultimate peace of mind with Deskpro's newest feature - User Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for Help Center, exclusively available to Enterprise Plan customers. Provide two methods of authentication: Email and Time-Based One Time Password (TOTP).

Add an extra level of security for your end-users

Enabling User 2FA ensures sensitive data is guarded with the highest level of security when Users manage their tickets via your Help Center. You control who it's enabled for and whether it is a mandatory login step, giving you complete control over secure access to your Help Center.
