Force activation of two-step validation (2FA) for Organization users
This guide explains how to require users in your Organization to enable the two-factor authentication (2FA) feature, and then verify that it remains enabled over time.
Introduction
- Every Infomaniak user has the possibility to activate two-step verification for accessing their account, which significantly increases the security of all the Organization's services…
- A legal representative can require this activation otherwise access to the Manager and Web apps will no longer be possible for the user.
- Access to desktop apps (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux) and mobile apps (smartphone or tablet app for iOS / Android) will still be possible.
- It is recommended to inform users of your Organization in advance, so they can continue to use the services.
- If an external user does not wish to carry out the operation requested by an Organization administrator, they can choose to exit it instead of activating it.
