Add an extra layer of security to your account by requiring an additional step to log into Housecall Pro. If you opt an employee into two-factor authentication, they'll enter a verification code sent by text.
What is two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Two-factor authentication (also referred to as 2FA, multi-factor authentication, or MFA) is an extra layer of security for your Housecall Pro account. Instead of just entering your username and password at login, you are prompted to also enter a one-time password (OTP) sent via text to the mobile device registered on your account.
Why do you need 2FA?
2FA is an added layer of security on top of the use of a strong and unique password. With 2FA in place, an unauthorized user would need access to your device or the code sent to your device in order to successfully log in.

Having trouble with 2FA?
Please chat into the blue chat bubble. We route 2FA-related help through a secure support process to make sure no unauthorized users are attempting to access your account. Note: blue chat bubble support is not intended for field techs; if users with the role of Field Tech are having trouble logging in, they will be prompted to reach out to an Admin from their company for support.
