Lorex App - Two-step verification
What is two-step verification and should I enable it?
Two-step verification is a security feature designed as an additional layer to protect your account. Two-step verification is disabled by default.
With two-step verification enabled, if your password is ever compromised, your account cannot be accessed without a unique verification code. Any time your account is accessed from a new device, you will be sent a code to verify it's you.
For additional security, we recommended that you enable two-step verification.

Keep in mind that when two-step verification is enabled no one can access your account without a verification code.
We do recommend that you change your password as soon as possible as your password may have been compromised.

It is recommended that shared users also enable two-step verification to add an extra layer of security for your devices.
