nizima allows you to set up two-step verification to prevent unauthorized login of your account.

Two-step authentication is a mechanism to prevent unauthorized access by adding SMS authentication in addition to the ID/password used for normal login.

If you connect from the same browser, the second and subsequent two-step verifications will be omitted, so the operation with your browser will not be troublesome.

We strongly recommend that you enable two-step verification settings.
