Two-step Verification
Enable two-step verification, sometimes called multi-factor authentication (MFA), to enhance your account security. During login, you’ll authenticate with a one-time password (OTP) sent to your email or generated by an authenticator app. You can only access FleetControl after this additional verification step. This process prevents unauthorized access and keeps your fleet secure. We strongly recommend all fleet users activate two-step verification, especially those with access to sensitive data or write permissions.
