Summary

Researchers can now generate backup codes for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on their Bugcrowd Accounts, allowing them to reset their accounts without needing to contact the support team. This update adds an extra layer of security to Bugcrowd Researcher accounts, requiring two means of identification before granting access. Researchers can enable or disable 2FA by going into their Account Settings and clicking on the “Security” tab in their Researcher profile. When 2FA is enabled, backup codes are generated to help reset the account without assistance from the support team. If researchers lose their device or forget their authentication credentials, they can use these backup codes to regain access to their accounts.
