Setup Two-Factor Authentication
Setup Two-Factor Authentication
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. Through iJoin Portal you have the option to enable Two-Factor Authentication on a per user basis.
Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
1. Create New User
The option to enable 2FA for a new user is available through the Create New User function on the Settings > Users screen. Select the Create New User button.
- Toggle to ‘On’ the Use Two Factor Authentication field for the user. The user will be required to set up their 2FA the first time they log into their account.
2. Existing Users
2FA can be updated for existing users by entering the user profile and setting the toggle to ‘ON’ for the Use Two Factor Authentication field and selecting Save. The user will be required to set up their 2FA the next time they log into their account.
