Account Settings
Account Information
Under the account menu in the main navigation, find Account Settings.

You should see your account information, such as the name of your account, domain, the account owner's email, and more.

You can edit the name, domain, and contact email from this page at any time. Once you change one of these values, you will be prompted to save or undo the changes.
There is also a setting called Allow access via API. Under almost every circumstance, it should remain checked. Unchecking this option will make audience membership information unavailable in the public API requests that power personalization.
Account ID and account number are never editable. They are assigned at account creation and are permanent identifiers.

Two-factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication is a technique that helps to make your account more secure. It does this by adding a second step to your login process.
Single-factor authentication uses your email address and password to authenticate your Lytics session.
The second factor comes from the Authy app using an Authy SoftToken, a secret token that changes every 20 seconds. Entering a correct token provides an extra level of verification.
What is an Authy SoftToken
An Authy SoftToken is a secret token that is broadcasted to the Authy app every 20 seconds. This unique token serves a second factor by which Lytics can authenticate your session. Authy is available to download for free as a desktop and mobile app: Download Authy.
Using Two-Factor Authentication
The only difference between two-factor authentication and single-factor authentication is an extra step during login. After providing your password, you will then be asked for your Authy SoftToken.
Using Two-Factor Authentication also requires every user to provide their phone number. Logging in with two-factor authentication for the first time will walk a user through this workflow.

Enabling Two-factor Authentication
To enable two-factor authentication for your account, navigate to your account menu at the top right of the Lytics app and select Manage Account. Then go to Security and select the option to Enforce two factor auth.
