{% hint style="info" %}
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security system that requires two separate, distinct forms of identification to access the portal. The first factor is a password and the second commonly includes a code sent to your smartphone. The Barbados Data Protection Act (2021) outlines various privacy principles such as 2FA which are intended to regulate and safeguard the processing of data. As a result, BPI has put measures in place to maintain compliance while enforcing industry-standard security best practices.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://barbados-port-inc.gitbook.io/e-payment-manual-agents/full-access-user/logging-onto-the-e-payment-portal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
