Once enabled, you will need to enter the code sent by Zoom in the 'Mobile Authenticator App' for login. Zoom will send that code via SMS or phone call.

As the technology blog Engadget points out, this will make it possible to stop potential attackers. Because in order to access the account, first of all, the attacker will need the user's mobile device.

The new 'two-factor authentication' facility is available for zoom web portals, desktop clients, mobile apps and zoom rooms. The feature will support time-based one-time password or TOTP protocol. As a result, it can be run with apps like Google Authenticator or Free OTP.

As Engadget notes, Zoom supports many other types of authentication processes, such as SAML, OAuth, and password-based authentication.

Earlier this year, Zoom sparked controversy with its end-to-end encryption of paid users. Later, however, he changed his mind. Currently all zoom users get 'end-to-end encryption'.

Zoom didn't make the same mistake again. From the beginning, the company has come up with 'two-factor authentication' for everyone.
