The video below explains how to log into a new device (computer, mobile, or tablet) using 2-step verification in CCH® Client Axcess.​

2-step verification is an added security measure that can be enabled on your Portal account. 2-step verification increases security by sending users a one-time code that authenticates identity and the device from which they are logging in, adding a layer of protection more resilient than a password alone can provide.
