We’ve previously discussed how Two Factor Authentication has become increasingly important in an age of serious cyberattacks.
This blog is a guide showing you how to enable Two Factor Authentication within SwiftCase itself, giving you a high standard of online security.
Download Google Authenticator App
The Google Authenticator app can be found at the App store, or on Google Play,, depending on your phone’s platform.

On the QR code screen in SwiftCase (Figure 3) you need to click ‘Confirm’. The system will request your passcode for Authentication. The passcode will always be requested when enabling or disabling the 2FA in SwiftCase, and when 2FA is enabled it will also be requested when logging in.

After enabling, you will receive a message confirming activation.

How to login using 2FA
After enabling 2FA in SwiftCase, whenever you login you will be prompted for a passcode (Figure 7). All you need to do is to enter the code found in your Google Authenticator App for your SwiftCase system (Figure 6).
Disabling 2FA in Swiftcase
Disabling 2FA is a similar process. You simply click the ‘Disable Two Factor Authentication’ button from your profile page.

You will be prompted to enter your passcode to authenticate and after this 2FA is disabled. Once complete, you will receive a message confirming 2FA has been disabled.
