Overview


XCALLY provides the option to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Google Gmail accounts, enhancing account protection and access security.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — also known as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication — is a security process that requires users to verify their identity using two distinct authentication factors.

While traditional Single-Factor Authentication (SFA) relies only on a password, 2FA adds a second verification layer. This greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if a user’s password has been compromised.

By requiring an additional verification step (for example, a security token or app-based approval), 2FA significantly increases the security of both user credentials and the resources those users can access.

In summary, 2FA:

  • Strengthens login security for Gmail integrations.

  • Reduces the risk of unauthorized account access.

  • Ensures compliance with best practices for data protection.
