Yes, JobzMall offers two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an additional layer of security for your account. Our current 2FA system uses text messages (SMS) sent to a verified phone number. Here's what you need to know about this important security feature:
​

How JobzMall's Two-Factor Authentication Works

  1. SMS-Based System: When enabled, you'll receive a text message with a verification code each time you log in.

  2. Verified Phone Number: 2FA requires a verified phone number capable of receiving SMS messages.

  3. Verified Email Requirement: To set up 2FA, you must have a verified email address associated with your account.

Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

To enable 2FA on your JobzMall account:

  1. Ensure your email address is verified

  2. Add and verify your phone number in your account settings

  3. Navigate to the security settings in your account

  4. Look for the two-factor authentication option

  5. Follow the prompts to enable SMS-based 2FA

Benefits of Using Two-Factor Authentication

  • Enhanced Security: Adds an extra layer of protection beyond your password

  • Unauthorized Access Prevention: Helps prevent account access even if your password is compromised

  • Peace of Mind: Gives you greater confidence in the security of your JobzMall account

Important Notes

  • Keep Your Number Updated: If you change your phone number, be sure to update it in your account settings to maintain 2FA functionality.

  • Account Recovery: Having both a verified email and phone number aids in account recovery if needed.

What to Do If You Can't Access Your Phone

If you're unable to receive SMS messages:

  1. Use any preset account recovery options

  2. Contact JobzMall support for assistance in accessing your account
