Do you use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to secure your email? Does your organization protect your workspace using a Single Sign-On (SSO) provider?
While Shift supports almost all industry-standard authentication methods, certain security protocols behave differently within an integrated desktop browser environment. Use the compatibility tables below to verify your corporate or personal security configuration.
Managing Your Account Security Settings
If you need to verify or alter your account's multi-factor settings, you can access your providers' security panels directly by the followings:
- Check your 2FA settings on your Google account here.
- Check your 2FA settings on your Outlook/Office 365 account here.
- Check your 2FA settings on your Yahoo account here.
