For security reasons, two-factor authentication has to be setup for each agent when they login for the first time. Click on the Setup button to setup this security feature.

The two-factor token will be sent to the email address of the agent, or the agent can use an authenticator application.

Email Authentication

Selecting the Send signed and/or encrypted email if possible option activates opportunistic encryption of the email containing the two-factor token when sent. This feature will work only if either a PGP or S/MIME subsystem is activated and if there is a public key or certificate available for the agent’s target email address. Otherwise the email will be sent in plain text.
