Enhanced Security with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Platform
Hello!
From 24 March 2026, new users will set up two-factor authentication (2FA) when creating a Zinc account. This adds an extra layer of security and helps keep your data and your candidates’ data safe.
What you need to know
- New users: Anyone signing up from 24 March must set up 2FA during registration
- Existing users: No change for now — we’ll share a rollout plan soon
- Login methods: 2FA applies to all standard logins (email and password, Google, LinkedIn)
- SSO users: No change if you use Okta, Google Workspace, or Azure AD
What’s new
We’ve designed 2FA to balance security with a smooth experience:
- Recruiters and customers: Choose an authenticator app or SMS
- Candidates: SMS
- Flexible recovery: Clear options if something goes wrong
Common issues, solved:
- Didn’t get a code? Use Resend
- Entered the wrong number? Select Edit and update it (check the country code)
- Lost access to your device? Contact Support — we’ll verify your details and help you regain access
You can find more detailed guidance in our new help centre articles below.
