Why you should use 2FA for ConnectWise Control (ScreenConnect)?

ConnectWise Control (ScreenConnect) is a powerful remote support and access platform that allows users to connect to their devices from anywhere in the world. However, with great power comes great responsibility, and it's important to take steps to protect your account from unauthorized access. That's where 2-factor authentication comes in.

Enabling 2-factor authentication on your ConnectWise Control account adds an extra layer of security to your login process. Instead of just entering your username and password, you'll also need to enter a unique code that's generated by an app on your phone. This means that even if someone manages to steal your password, they won't be able to access your account without also having access to your phone.

In addition to enabling 2-factor authentication, there are a few other steps you can take to keep your ConnectWise Control account secure. First, make sure to use a strong, unique password that you don't use for any other accounts. Second, be careful about who you give access to your account - only share your login information with people you trust. Finally, keep an eye on your account activity and report any suspicious activity to ConnectWise Control support immediately.

Overall, enabling 2-factor authentication is a simple but effective way to protect your ConnectWise Control account from unauthorized access. By taking a few extra steps to secure your account, you can enjoy all the benefits of this powerful remote access platform with peace of mind.
