Security Settings
You can create or edit your Security PIN using the text box. Your security PIN is used to confirm your identity when you call the Helcim Support Team.
You can also turn-on two-factor identification for your account. Clicking on
Active
will turn on the restriction. By default, both of these settings are set to Inactive
. If you would like to restrict which IP's can access your account, you can enter them into the text box below.
Most mobile phones have a dynamic IP that frequently changes. We recommend not enabling IP restrictions when using the mobile app. For two-factor authentication, we recommend using the mobile PIN instead.
