Strengthen Your Certiblok® Account Security with Two-Factor Authentication

As cyber threats increase, adopting advanced protection measures such as two-factor authentication becomes essential to safeguard your information. Certiblok® offers several features designed to keep your data secure. One of the most important is two-factor authentication (2FA), which adds an extra layer of security to your account.

What Is Two-Factor Authentication?

Two-factor authentication is an identity verification process that requires two different authentication methods from two distinct categories of credentials: something the user knows (such as a password) and something the user has (such as a mobile device). This approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, because even if an attacker obtained the user's password, they would still need the second factor to complete the login.

How to Enable Two-Factor Authentication on Certiblok®

Certiblok® makes enabling 2FA simple through an intuitive, quick procedure. Here is a step-by-step guide to activating this security feature on your account:

1. Access the Dashboard

Log in to your Certiblok® dashboard. Here you will find a clearly visible button showing the status of two-factor authentication: red when it is not active and green when it is enabled. Click the button to start the setup process.

2. Download an Authentication App

To proceed, you need to download an app that generates verification tokens, such as Google Authenticator (iOS - Android), Authy (iOS - Android) or Microsoft Authenticator (iOS - Android), available on the App Store and Google Play. These apps generate temporary codes that serve as the second authentication factor.

3. Scan the QR Code

Once you have downloaded the app, click "Continue" on the Certiblok® platform. A QR code will appear that you need to scan with your authentication app. Open the app on your mobile device, select the option to add a new account, and scan the QR code shown on the Certiblok® screen.

4. Enter the Generated Code

After scanning the QR code, the authentication app will generate a temporary code. Enter this code in the required field on the Certiblok® platform and click "Confirm". Two-factor authentication is now active on your account.

5. Two-Factor Authentication Verification

Every time you log in to your Certiblok® account, in addition to your password, you will be asked to enter the temporary code generated by the authentication app. This ensures that only you can access your account, even if your password were compromised.

Benefits of Two-Factor Authentication

1. Greater Security

Implementing 2FA adds an extra layer of security, drastically reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Even if an attacker obtained your password, they could not access your account without the second authentication factor.

2. Protection of Sensitive Data

Certiblok® is designed to manage sensitive and confidential documents. Using 2FA ensures that only authorized people can access this information, protecting data from potential breaches.

3. Ease of Use

Despite the increased security, two-factor authentication is easy to use. Once configured, logging in to your account takes only a few extra seconds, while offering significantly greater protection.

Security Built into the Platform

The Certiblok® platform does not stop at two-factor authentication. Files are encrypted with AES-256, split into 80 smaller fragments and distributed across a decentralized cloud of 26,000 storage nodes, monitored through the Ethereum blockchain. Every change creates a new version, and previous versions remain stored and recoverable, with a full activity log.

Additional Features

• DRM® (Document Relationship Management): Certiblok® offers an advanced document management system that includes document owner identification, deadline management, document versioning, secure sharing and audit rooms.
• Sharing: share documents or request documents from customers and suppliers without registration and without size limits, with a log for every share.
• QR Code: automatic generation of QR codes to make document sharing easier, configurable as "Public" or "Private" depending on your security needs.

Two-factor authentication is a crucial element for protecting your Certiblok® account and your sensitive data. Activating it is simple and quick, but it offers a significant improvement in security.
