Google Authentication - 2 factor login
If required, TransVirtual has the ability to allow the setup of 2-factor logins which provides an extra level of security to your user logins.
This functionality is useful for a number of reasons but it mainly comes in handy when a user login becomes 'compromised'.
A user login may become compromised if their username and password is 'taken' or acquired - but with 2-factor login setup, no-one is able to login without also having the user's phone to authenticate and verify that the correct person is attempting to login.
