    Why you should use 2FA for Planning Center?

    Planning Center is a powerful tool for managing your church or organization's events, volunteers, and more. But with great power comes great responsibility, and that's where 2-factor authentication comes in. By enabling 2FA on your Planning Center account, you add an extra layer of security to your login process.
     
    
     With 2FA, you'll need to enter a unique code in addition to your password every time you log in. This code is generated by an app like ours, and it changes every 30 seconds. That means even if someone gets hold of your password, they won't be able to access your account without also having your phone or other device.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA is quick and easy, and it can help protect your sensitive information from hackers and other bad actors. Plus, our app makes it easy to store and manage all your 2FA codes in one place, so you don't have to worry about losing them or forgetting which code goes with which account.
     
    
     Of course, even with 2FA enabled, it's still important to follow other security and privacy best practices. Make sure your password is strong and unique, and don't share it with anyone. Keep your device and app up to date with the latest security patches and updates. And always be wary of suspicious emails or messages that ask for your login information or other personal details.
     
    
     With 2FA and our app, you can enjoy the convenience and power of Planning Center while also keeping your information safe and secure. So why wait? Enable 2FA today and start enjoying peace of mind.
