Set up two-step verification in GoToMyPC

GoToMyPC users can set an additional layer of security based on a two-step verification method (also known as "two-factor verification"). The two-step verification method is based on something you know (e.g., a password) and something you have (e.g., a code sent via text message), which provides a more robust level of authentication. To use the two-step verification method, users are prompted to enter a code sent via the LastPass Authenticator app after they enter their GoToMyPC account password. We strongly suggest using the LastPass authentication method; however, you can also use an alternative verification method.

Important: Two-step verification can only be set up in end-user profiles. They cannot be set up in manager profiles.
