Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on SMSLeopard in Kenya.

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital space, security is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Whether you are a business, NPO, SACCO, church, or e-commerce brand in Kenya, safeguarding customer data and ensuring secure communication channels should be top priority.

That’s why SMSLeopard, Kenya’s leading bulk SMS and messaging automation platform, offers Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)—a simple yet powerful way to secure your account and communications.

In this guide, we’ll explore the security benefits of 2FA and provide a step-by-step setup process so you can start protecting your business immediately.
