With the recent important security update that we have implemented for all our SMS and LMS clients. We have also enabled the option to login using an Authenticator App.

Authenticator app: This factor uses a mobile application (e.g Google Authenticator) to generate a temporary code for user authentication. During the login process, eSkilled LMS prompts the user to enter a code generated by their authenticator app, in addition to their password. This code changes periodically, ensuring that it can’t be reused for unauthorised access. 

Important Note: Users must have an app installed on their mobile device and configure this factor themselves.
