Set up two-factor authentication (2FA):
BoundaryAi places a high priority on security, which is why we require two-factor authentication (2FA) for all accounts. 2FA significantly enhances the security of your account by adding an extra layer of protection beyond just a password. It ensures that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure.

- Scan the QR Code: Open the authenticator app on your phone. Use the app to scan the QR code you received. This will link your BoundaryAi account to the authenticator app, providing you with a unique code every time you log in.
-
Regain Access: If you lose access to your authenticator app (for example, if you lose your phone), contact your representative at BoundaryAi immediately. They will assist you in regaining access to your account. It’s also a good idea to store backup codes in a secure location as an additional precaution.
