Class Charts supports the use of dual authentication, which adds an extra layer of security for login attempts. Instead of just supplying a username and a password, staff members will also have to supply information that is specific to your school.

To enable dual authentication for your school, click on the three lines menu in the top right hand corner of the page and select School Settings from the list of available options.
