Your digital sovereignty doesn’t stop at hardware—it’s about the layers of security you put in place to protect your data from bad actors. In this video, we walk you through enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your Digital Colonies VaultNode.
By implementing 2FA, you ensure that your personal files, family photos, and private documents remain accessible only to you. Even if your password is leaked, your VaultNode acts as the gatekeeper, requiring an additional verification code via email or official Nextcloud notification.
In this video, you will learn:
- How to configure your account settings for 2FA.
- The difference between Email and Nextcloud Notification authentication.
- Why generating and securing your backup codes is a critical step in maintaining long-term access to your data.
Why trust Big Tech with your security? At Digital Colonies, we are building the tools necessary to exit the traditional “cloud” and reclaim individual privacy. Whether you are using your VaultNode for file syncing, shared calendars, or media storage, 2FA is a necessary step to fortify your digital perimeter.
