Question 3

How can I ban a user from a chat group?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, you can only ban a user from the tchop channel dashboard, given that you have the ‘Admin’ rights for that chat group.

Question 4

Why am I seeing error messages like ‘Failed to send comment’ or ‘Failed to load comment’?

Accepted Answer

There can be many reasons why app is showing error message in comments. Some of the main reasons are:

Admin has deactivated comment for that card: Sometimes it may happens that the administrator of your organisation/channel has inactivated comment function in a card at the same time you are looking at the comment. To fix this issue, simply refresh the app in news feed or re-start the app after completely removing the app from the phone background.
No Internet connection: User can only comment or read past comments with proper internet connection due to security reasons. Please make sure that your device is well connected to the internet
Syncing issue between the app and tchop database: Sometimes, there is some delay on syncing of app and tchop backend. Please restart the app and the issue at hand should be fixed.

If the problem still exists and you think there is some other issue, please write to us at support@tchop.io and we will take care of it

Question 5

What is 2FA and phone-lock and why I need to activate it?

Accepted Answer

What is 2-Factor-Authentication?

Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-step verification or dual factor authentication, is a security process in which the user provides two different authentication factors to verify themselves to better protect both the user's credentials and the resources the user can access. Two-factor authentication provides a higher level of assurance than authentication methods that depend on single-factor authentication (SFA), in which the user provides only one factor -- typically a password or passcode. Two-factor authentication methods rely on users providing a password as well as a second factor, usually either a security token or a biometric factor like a fingerprint or facial scan.

Two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security to the authentication process by making it harder for attackers to gain access to a person's devices or online accounts, because knowing the victim's password alone is not enough to pass the authentication check.

What is phone-lock?

Phone-lock is another type of two-step verification or dual factor authentication, where the user need to protect his/her mobile device with a password in order to access the company app

Why I need to activate 2-Factor-Authentication or phone-lock ?

You might need to activate 2-Factor-Authentication or phone-lock or both depending on the settings of your organisation. In case your organisation has enabled 2-Factor-Authentication and phone
