2-step authentication

This article applies to:

2-step authentication is a method to increase security of your account by confirming a your identity via two factors: your password and a security code generated by an authenticator app (such as Authy or Google Authenticator) on your phone that only you possess.

Enabling 2-step authentication on your Keap account will require you to enter your password and security code each time you log in. Once logged in, you will have the option to trust the browser you are using for 90 days. You are able to trust multiple browsers across multiple devices and can remove that trust when necessary. Clearing your cache and cookies for a browser will require you to login with your password and authenticator, even within 90 days of trusting the browser.
