1. What is Two-Step Verification?
 
Two Step Verification requires a six-digit verification code when logging in via the Linksys app or the Linksys Smart WiFi web interface using your Linksys server account. The addition of this feature to the Linksys app will help provide an additional layer of security and peace of mind for Linksys users.
