2FA: Add a Layer of Security to Employee Accounts

2FA: Add a Layer of Security to Employee Accounts

In an age where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and frequent, protecting employee data is no longer optional—it’s essential. At Lightbox Reward, we’re committed to helping our clients meet the highest standards of data protection, and one of the simplest yet most effective tools available is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

What Is 2FA and Why Does It Matter?

2FA adds an extra layer of security to your login process by requiring not just a password, but also a second form of verification. This means that even if a password is compromised, unauthorised access is still blocked. The Lightbox Reward 2FA sends a unique single-use code to the users registered email address.

For platforms like Lightbox, which handle sensitive employee data and benefits information, 2FA is a critical safeguard. It’s also a requirement for many cybersecurity certifications, including Cyber Essentials.

How Lightbox Supports 2FA

We’ve made it easy for employers and employees to enable 2FA across the Lightbox platform. Whether you’re accessing benefit dashboards, uploading sensitive documents, or managing employee communications, 2FA ensures that only authorised users can gain access.

There are no 2FA credentials to be remembered or stored, as a unique code is sent via email. 2FA is on by default for all admin users and each client has the option to enable 2FA for all employees.

Final Thoughts

Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. By enabling 2FA, you’re not just protecting your own account—you’re helping to safeguard your entire organisation. Let’s work together to keep employee data secure and maintain the trust that underpins everything we do.
