The term Zoombombing has been around since the video conferencing app Zoom took off amid the coronavirus pandemic. This concept implies malicious actions of persons entering Zoom conferences through loopholes in the security system of the service. Despite numerous product improvements, these situations still happen.
However, yesterday, September XNUMX, Zoom finally presented a viable solution to the problem. Now video conferencing administrators will be able to use two-factor authentication to access users in virtual conference rooms. Two-factor authentication requires the user to use two or more ways to verify their identity. These additional methods may include passwords, mobile device verification, and even fingerprint scanning. At the same time, the risk that an outsider will enter your account is significantly reduced, it becomes almost impossible.
It is worth noting that the idea of ββusing two-factor authentication is not new. In this way, you can protect accounts in the vast majority of modern online services. In order to activate the function in Zoom, you need to go to the βSecurityβ submenu of the βAdvancedβ menu in the application control panel, and then activate the βTwo-factor authentication loginβ item.
