Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a type of extra account security included with your Webroot management account. It helps make sure that, when you log in, you're really you.

Webroot has incorporated two-factor authentication, or 2FA, into the login process for the Webroot management console.

  1. Visit my.webrootanywhere.com and log in. You will see an option to Set up 2FA. If you choose to skip this process, you can always complete it later from within your console.

  2. Simply choose your desired Authenticator app and download it to your device.

  3. Use the app to generate a 6-digit passcode.

  4. Enter it into the setup window in your console, then click Verify Code.

The next time you log in to your management account, instead of using your previous Webroot security code, you’ll be asked for a limited time passcode from the authentication app you chose. You have now set up 2FA security for your account.

The Web Shield alerts you to websites that may pose a threat as you browse. Likewise, when you use a search engine, the Web Shield analyzes the search results and displays an image next to each link, letting you know whether it's a trusted site or a potential risk. By working along with the Windows firewall, your network has both inbound and outbound protection.
