Overview
A leaked password should not be enough to access a CS-Cart store account. The 2FA Authenticator add-on adds a second verification step for the CS-Cart admin panel and user accounts: after entering a password, the user must confirm login with a unique code from a supported mobile app.
This helps reduce the risk of unauthorized access even when passwords are compromised, keeping your business data and customer information more secure.
