2-Factor authentication default settings
2-Factor authentication settings
To increase the protection factor, you can force the use of a 2-FA in idgard®. Changes at this point are only effective for newly created users. To make this setting, you need the permission of an Administrator. The 2-factor authentication settings are available to you, but are optional to apply.
Standard 2-factor authentication method:
In the selection field you choose which authentication method should be offered as default when creating a new user. This method is not enforced, but only offers the selected method as the first when a new user is created. The method can be changed in the profile when the user is created or subsequently m profile. The available methods are Passcode via SMS passcode or TOPT. There is a charge for using an SMS for logins. TOTP works by coupling the login for idgard® with any authentication app for TOTP.
Proceed as follows:
- Open the "Administration" menu.
- Open the 3-dot menu in the green bar in the upper right.
- Click on "Enterprise settings".
- Open the "Access protection" tab.
- Scroll down to "Default 2FA option".
- Go to the "Default 2-factor authentication type " field.
- Choose the favorite data you want.
- Save your settings.
