Welcome to the Authentication Guide. This document provides an overview of the authentication mechanisms used on our platform. For more detailed information, please refer to our User Guide.
Authentication Methods
Our platform supports various authentication methods to ensure secure access to user accounts. Here are some of the commonly used methods:
- Username and Password: The most basic form of authentication, where users enter their username and password to access their accounts.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): An additional layer of security that requires users to provide a second form of verification, such as a code sent to their mobile device.
- OAuth: A protocol that allows third-party applications to access user data on our platform without sharing their credentials.
Setting Up Authentication
To set up authentication on your account, follow these steps:
- Log in to your account.
- Navigate to the "Settings" page.
- Click on the "Authentication" tab.
- Choose the authentication method you want to enable.
- Follow the instructions to complete the setup.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with authentication, here are some common solutions:
- Forgot Password: Click on the "Forgot Password" link on the login page and follow the instructions to reset your password.
- 2FA Not Working: Ensure that your mobile device is connected to the internet and that the authentication app is up to date.
