Turn on 2-Step Verification (2SV) for your project

Before you enable this setting

• Communicate with all project participants to inform them of the upcoming change. Make sure you include:
  • The date it will happen, (we suggest it's enabled outside of business hours).
  • Details of how it will affect them (for example, they will now need to generate and enter a 6-digit code every time they log into Aconex). They should also ensure there are at least two people in their organization that are admins who can reset 2sv authentication for their users.
  • Key contacts in your organization who can address any concerns.
  • Our contact page so they can reach support for assistance.
• Consider working with key organizations on the project to have them turn on 2-Step Verification for their users, before the change, so they can manage it themselves. 
• Send a reminder the day before the change. And send a confirmation once you've enabled it.
