Enable Two-Step Verification on Your Sprout Social Account

Add an extra layer of security to their Sprout Social account by turning on Two-Step Verification. Two-Step Verification uses a mobile device to verify your identity. This is an optional setting which can be implemented in two ways: Either the account owner can require Two-Step Verification for all users on your account, or—if not required—each user on the account can choose to turn the setting on for themselves.

Important: Once Two-Step Verification is enabled, all users for which it is enabled will be automatically logged out of Sprout Social until they have completed the Two-Step Verification setup process.
