Overview

2FA for Fisheye/Crucible: U2F & TOTP application protects your data from keyloggers, network data sniffing, unsecured wi-fi connections, and other threats, while also provides extra security for users working with sensitive information. The first security factor is your usual log in to the application with username and password. Multi-factor Authentication, also known as MFA or multi-step verification, adds another security layer by complementing username and password with a unique security code that is immediately accessible only to a certain user. Generally, such code is sent to any device which you have always on hand. As a user, you can decide which second security factor is more convenient and suitable for you, and you can change it anytime. Such a two-factor authentication method can be easily called a combination of "something you have and something you know”.
