Zoom has announced that it is adding control support starting today identity two-factor authentication (2FA) on all user accounts to help protect them from security breaches and identity theft.
With 2FA, Zoom users will have an extra level in the authentication process, preventing hackers from gaining control of their account by simply guessing their password or using compromised credentials.
This is because, the accounts of Zoom will be more secure with 2FA. You will be asked to enter a one-time code from a mobile authentication app or receive it via SMS or phone calls. So in addition to your account password, you'll need an additional password before you're allowed to log into the Zoom app.
"Zoom offers a range of authentication methods, such as SAML, OAuth, or password authentication, that can be enabled or disabled individually for an account."
