Force the activation of validation in two steps (2FA) to the users of the Organization
Force the activation of validation in two steps (2FA) to the users of the Organization
This guide explains how to require users of your Organization to activate two-factor authentication (2FA), then verify that it remains activated afterwards.
Introduction
- Each Infomaniak user has the ability to activate two-step verification for access to 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 (application for smartphone or iOS / Android tablet) will always be possible without 2FA.
- It is recommended to inform users of your Organization in advance, to allow them to continue using the services.
- If an external user does not wish to perform the operation requested by an Organization administrator, they can choose to leave the Organization instead of activating it.
