Account security is very important to protect access to your account and the data that it holds. There are 2 main security factors that allow you to protect your account:

• Something you know (Knowledge)
• Something you have (Possession)

By default VSM enforces you to provide something you know. This is your password. By adding more layers to authentication, the more secure we can make your account access. Virsae allows you to add a second layer, something you own, to your account. What you own in this case will be your smartphone, which will host an app to provide authentication codes on log in.  

No authentication method can be 100% secure, but by adding layers to your accounts you greatly reduce the risk of being the victim of a successful attack.
