One of the ways you can keep your church's database safe is by setting up two-step verification. When you log in with your password, you'll be sent a code to another device to verify that you are the one logging in.
Notice
Two-step verification is for profiles and accessible to anyone who can log in to Planning Center.
For more information about two-step verification, check out this video.
You can activate two-step verification from any product.
Select your profile picture in the top right to see if two-step verification is active for your account. If it's inactive, choose My login settings from the dropdown.
You'll be taken to a page to verify you want to enable two-step verification, and then you can choose where you'd like to receive your security code.
-
If you have applications like Google Authenticator, Authy, Duo Mobile, or Microsoft Authenticator on your device, you use one of those apps to generate a code.
-
Use a mobile phone number that can receive texts.
Once you follow the steps to choose your path to verification, you'll receive a one-time code that will verify you are the one logging in, and then two-step verification will be activated for your profile!
Danger
The last page of the verification process has your emergency backup code. Store this code in a secure place in case you lose the device you use to receive your security code.
If you need to remove the two-step verification for your profile, you can remove it in the same place you enabled it.
Select your profile picture in the top right, and then choose My login settings.
You'll be asked to verify that you want to remove the device, and then you'll need to enter the verification code sent to your device.
