We are excited to announce the general availability of two factor authentication for all Cloud 66 accounts.

Two factor authentication is a great way to increase the security of your servers and source code. It combines conventional passwords with one-time codes available through another device like your mobile phone.

We support two factor authentication using Google Authenticator, available for both iOS and Android devices.
