What is 2FA and why do I need it?

Created by Tristan O'Rourke, Modified on Fri, 18 Oct at 11:10 AM by Marc D'Onofrio

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by requiring a second form of identification in addition to your password. When logging into GC Digital Talent, you’ll first need to enter your GCkey username and password. After that, you’ll be prompted to enter a code sent to the authenticator app on your digital device. This additional step makes it a lot harder for unauthorized users to access your account, even if they have your password.

For more information on GCkey and 2FA, please see the GCkey Frequently Asked Questions.
