Improve Your Account Security with Two-Factor Authentication
Security is paramount and we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Ecenica Dashboard account. Here’s why 2FA is a game-changer:

- Prevents Unauthorized Access: Even if someone obtains your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the second verification step.
- Easy Setup: Enable 2FA through your Ecenica account settings in just a few minutes.
To enable 2FA, log in to Ecenica Dashboard and open Profile > 2-Step Verification
By enabling Two-Factor Authentication, you significantly enhance the security of your account, protecting your data and peace of mind.
