  • Securing your CMS accounts

    Found in News

    Later this month two-factor authentication (2FA) will be turned on across the websites run by the Digital.govt.nz team: Digital.govt.nz, Data.govt.nz and Govt.nz. We’ve decided to require 2FA following CERT NZ guidance on making sure accounts are secure.

We wanted (and still want!) to hear from people about what kind of information our API should carry, and how it should be structured and work to meet best practice.
