Using Two-Step Verification
Your organization may require native users to log in to Spok Go using two-step verification. With two-step verification, you need to enter your username and password for Spok Go, then you need to enter a security code from a third-party authenticator app or use a physical security key to verify your identity.
You must set up two-step verification in Spok Go for Desktop before you can sign in using two-step verification on your mobile device. For more information, see Setting up Two-step Verification.
