In SportsNow, you can activate two-factor authentication for your account if required. Two-factor authentication (2FA) provides additional protection for your account by requiring a second, device-specific security factor in addition to your password.
Good to know
- Any authentication app is suitable for two-factor authentication. If you have any questions about setting up the authentication app, please contact the support team for the app in question.
- Two-factor authentication can only be enabled and disabled for your own account on the web.
