Two-factor authentication

This type of authentication requires a user to log in to the Synerise application with extra credentials. Apart from the standard ones such as login (an email address) and password, a user must use a code generated by an authentication application on their device (a mobile phone). It increases security by preventing unwanted users from accessing a workspace.

Prerequisites


  • You must be granted access to the Settings module and permissions that allow performing actions there.
  • Download any Time-Based One Time Password (TOTP) authentication mobile app (applies to all users of a workspace in which this type of authentication is enforced).

Enforcing 2FA for a workspace


This procedure describes enabling and disabling 2FA for a workspace. As a result, every user of the workspace must log in with the security code apart from standard credentials.

WARNING: After 2FA is enforced in a workspace, users without the authentication app cannot access the workspace.
