Introducing: Two-Factor Authentication with SMS

We take security very seriously at Pressable, so it’s with great pleasure that we share the release of SMS as an additional authentication method for account protection. 

You will find these settings by navigating to your Settings -> Security page inside the MyPressable Control Panel. If you do not yet have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, you will see the following content within the Two-Factor Authentication section: 

Pressable 2FA Methods

If you have already activated an app as our preferred method for 2FA authentication, you will need to disable it before activating SMS as your method. Only one option is allowed at a time.

When clicking on SMS -> Activate , the system will ask for your phone number in the following section (the country code defaults to your IP’s current geo location):

Pressable 2FA SMS Setup

Once the code is sent to you, you’ll finalize the process by submitting the authentication code that was texted to you. After submitting the confirmation code correctly, 2FA will now be activated using SMS as your authentication method.

When logging into your Pressable account in the future, you’ll be sent a verification code via SMS text message after entering your username and password. You will need to enter it on this screen before you’re able to successfully sign in:

We are grateful for the opportunity to help you keep your accounts and sites secure here at Pressable.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about two-factor authentication or other features we provide to ensure your protection and peace of mind.
