View source for Logging into OdataLink

== Overview ==

Logging into OdataLink depends on whether you are using Two-Factor Authentication or not. As a general rule, we strongly recommend [[Editing user's details|enabling two-factor authentication]].


== With Two-Factor Authentication Enabled ==

When Two-Factor Authentication is enabled, you will need to enter an additional 6-digit number which you receive by email. This is to ensure the highest level of security to safeguard your data. 

To ease the burden of frequent logins, you can tick the '''Trust this device for 5 days'''. If ticked, OdataLink will not require the two-factor authentication for this device for the next 5 days.


== With Two-Factor Authentication Disabled ==

If Two-Factor Authentication is disabled for your user, OdataLink checks your device to ensure you've logged in from it before.  If you haven't, OdataLink will generate an email for you to confirm your login. This is a once-off confirmation but is required to ensure your account and data are secure.
