Zoom announced Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all users that let admins and organizations prevent security breaches & data thefts.

The two factor authentication (2fa) brings an additional security layer to the authentication process, blocking attackers from taking control of meetings by guessing the password or using compromised credentials.

“With Zoom’s 2FA, users have the option to use authentication apps that support Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) protocol (such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and FreeOTP), or have Zoom send a code via SMS or phone call, as the second factor of the account authentication process,” Zoom explained in an announcement published today.

How to Enable Zoom’s 2FA

Zoom offers a range of authentication methods such as SAML, OAuth, and/or password-based authentication, which can be individually enabled or disabled for an account.
