Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step at sign-in. It is enabled per user; encourage it for every privileged account.
#Purpose
Strengthen account security beyond passwords.
#When to use this
For all administrators and any account with sensitive access.
#At a glance
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Required permissions | Each user enables 2FA on their own account |
| Administrator level | Guidance is admin-led; enablement is per user |
| Portal areas used | Account security (2FA) |
#Step by step
1
Advise your team
Ask privileged users to enable 2FA.
2
Each user enables it
In their account security settings, they turn on 2FA and complete verification.
3
Confirm coverage
Encourage every admin and finance/HR user to enable it.
#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
- 2FA is enabled per user; there is no organization-wide enforcement toggle today, so drive adoption through policy.
- Ensure users keep their second-factor device and recovery information safe.
#Best practices
- Enable 2FA on every admin account.
- Prioritize finance, HR, and CEO accounts.
#Common mistakes
- Assuming enabling 2FA on one account protects others.
- No recovery plan if a device is lost.
#Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| A user is locked out after enabling 2FA | An admin or support can help recover access. |
| Can I force 2FA org-wide? | Organization-wide enforcement is not available today; drive it through policy. |
#FAQ
Can I require 2FA for everyone?
Not via a single toggle today — require it through policy and confirm adoption.
