As digital security becomes more critical, protecting your 3DEXPERIENCE platform with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a smart move. 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring not only your password but also a code from an external device, like a phone or an app. Here’s a quick guide to setting it up.

Why Use 2FA?

  • Enhanced Security: Even if your password is compromised, your data stays secure.
  • Reduced Risk: 2FA helps prevent unauthorized access and phishing attacks.

Steps to Enable 2FA on 3DEXPERIENCE platform

  1. Log into Your Account: Head to the 3DEXPERIENCE login page and sign in with your usual credentials.
