Sign-In & Password Security
Understand how sign-in and passwords are protected. Authentication is handled by the platform; password reset and 2FA are the main user-facing controls.
#Purpose
Keep sign-in secure and help users recover safely.
#When to use this
When setting security expectations or helping a user regain access.
#At a glance
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Required permissions | Users manage their own passwords; admins advise |
| Administrator level | Admin guidance; platform-managed auth |
| Portal areas used | Authentication, Account security |
#Step by step
1
Set expectations
Ask users to use strong, unique passwords.
2
Enable 2FA
Have privileged users add 2FA.
3
Use password reset for recovery
Users reset via the forgot-password flow.
4
Force sign-out if needed
Users can sign out of all devices if an account may be compromised.
#Approval points
No formal approval gate
This administrative action does not require a separate sign-off, but review carefully before applying changes.
#Security notes
Security considerations
- Configurable organization-level password policies and session-timeout settings are not available today (auth is platform-managed); enforce strong passwords through policy and 2FA.
- Advise users to sign out of all devices if they suspect compromise.
#Best practices
- Require strong, unique passwords by policy.
- Pair passwords with 2FA.
#Common mistakes
- Assuming an admin-configurable password policy exists.
- Not enabling 2FA.
#Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| A user cannot sign in | Have them reset their password and confirm activation; see the login troubleshooting guide. |
