Bakong Auth is a two-factor authentication app that makes it more convenient for you to keep your account secure with a second layer when signing in. To enable 2-step verification with your account, first you need to sign up with Bakong Auth, after that you can start to activate your account by just scanning the QR code (Only the QR code that generated with valid Bakong auth format). Once activated, then you can start signing in account with 2-step verification with these 2 options below: - Sign In with Bakong Auth Prompt Prove that it’s really you during your signing in account after you enter username and password then accepting the notification sent to the Bakong auth app. This request has a 120 seconds timer counting down. If the timer is over then you are not able to prove yourself to process login anymore so, it requires you to request sign in your account again to receive another notification to prove it’s you. - Sign In with Bakong Auth QR Code: Sometime when you access a certain organization platform, it may offer the option to sign in with Bakong auth QR code so there is nothing much to do, you just scan the QR code then you will successfully prove yourself to process sign in. It's a really effective and seamless way of two-factor authentication.
