How to update your Two Factor Authentication in the Crucial Client Area

  Print

As part of our commitment to keep your accounts secure, Crucial is upgrading our Two-Factor Authentication. As part of this, we've brought a new 2FA module to the table.
If you'd like to continue using 2FA, you will need to log into your Client Area, disable your existing 2FA, and then enable the new 2FA. If you've already got 2FA set up with our existing plugin, this will continue to work for a short time, and will eventually be disabled.

For more information on managing Two-Factor Authentication, see our guide on using 2FA in your Client Area.


Step 1 - Log into your Crucial Client Area.


Step 2 - Click on Two Factor Auth in the left sidebar.
