Enforce 2-factor authentication for all users
Enforce two-factor authentication
When a user is created, a 2-factor authentication for the login is forced. Without the assignment of a 2-FA method, the user cannot be created. If you want the SMS pass code method to be used for users, you must first purchase this. The 2-factor authentication settings are available to you, but are optional to apply.
If you have chosen this method, the user must enter an SMS passcode once, which will be sent to him during registration. If the license is reassigned, the user will have to register again, where a passcode will be requested again.
