2FA in ImageCapture: have you set it up yet?
In an era where digital security is playing an increasingly prominent role, it is essential to take the protection of our online accounts seriously. With the ongoing threat of cyber attacks and the increasing complexity of digital threats, implementing robust security measures such as two-step authentication (2FA) has become critical.
Two-factor authentication in ImageCapture
One of the most effective methods to strengthen the security of online accounts is to implement 2FA, also known as multiple authentication (MFA). This approach requires not only entering a password, but also a second authentication step, such as a unique code sent to a trusted device. This additional level of security makes it significantly more difficult for cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to accounts, even if they obtain the password.
In this guide, we will explain step by step how to set up and use 2FA in ImageCapture, an essential step to ensure the security of your account and protect your data from potential threats.Volg de onderstaande stappen nauwkeurig om je digitale veiligheid te versterken en met vertrouwen gebruik te maken van ImageCapture.

- Make sure you install an authentication app on your cell phone. For example, the Microsoft authentication app; Microsoft Authenticator.
- Follow your authentication app’s instructions to register ImageCapture. This usually involves scanning a QR code or entering the secret key.
Step 4: Set up 2FA in ImageCapture
- After you register ImageCapture in your authentication app, the app generates a time-based code.
- Enter this code in the appropriate field on the ImageCapture website.
Congratulations! You have successfully set up 2FA.
