Two Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication is a security feature that helps protect your Piktochart account in addition to your password. If you set up two-factor authentication, you'll be asked to enter a special login code or confirm your login attempt each time someone tries accessing Piktochart from a device or browser we don't recognize.
