Two-factor authentication (2FA) strengthens authentication with an additional layer of security that requires presenting an extra piece of evidence (the factor) to an authentication mechanism of a website or application. To obtain that factor, you can use an authenticator like Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator, which provides a random code that changes frequently.
You can enforce 2FA for all the users in your Probely account to have this extra layer of authentication in their profiles.
Enforce 2FA
In the Probebly app, enforce 2FA for all the users as follows:
Open the dropdown menu on the top-right corner of the navigation bar and click on Authentication.
In the TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) SETTINGS section, click on ENFORCE 2FA.
A dialog is displayed to enter your password and 2FA code as a security measure.
Now that you have enforced 2FA, the following happens to the users of your account:
Users logging in without 2FA set up for their profile
At login, they must follow some extra steps to set up 2FA for their profile.
The procedure will be like steps 4 and 5 described in how to set up 2FA for your profile.
Users already logged in without 2FA set up for their profile
These users will be automatically logged out.
When logging back in, they must follow some extra steps to set up 2FA for their profile.
The procedure will be like steps 4 and 5 described in how to set up 2FA for your profile.
Users already logged in with 2FA disabled for their profile
Their 2FA will become enabled, and they will be asked to enter the random code generated by the authenticator app installed on their device.
Users with 2FA enabled for their profile
They won’t notice because they are already using 2FA.
