Turn on the two-factor authentication requirement in your business portfolio

Two-factor authentication can help protect your account from unauthorized access.

If you created your business portfolio less than 90 days ago, you can choose to require two-factor authentication for people in your account.

If two-factor authentication is required for your business portfolio, people must also turn on two-factor authentication to access the business portfolio. Note: For security reasons, turning on two-factor authentication is required for certain business portfolios that are more than 90 days old.
