Time-based one-time password (TOTP)

Creation of a PreVeil Express account now comes with an option of using a TOTP-compatible app for multi-factor authentication. TOTP is a computer algorithm that generates a one-time password that uses the current time as a source of uniqueness.

The first four steps in PreVeil Express account creation remain the same. Upon reaching step five you will be prompted to choose a second factor in authentication. Proceed with the following steps.
