# Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Enable two-factor authentication for your organization so that users have an additional level of identity verification required on logging in. This is an added security layer for your organizational data.

## Enabling 2FA

An admin user can enable 2FA for their organization by navigating the left side menu to *My Account >* *Organization Setup > Security*.

Once enabled, you'll be able to set verification and authenticator options.

### **Verify User On**

Specify when the user should be challenged to verify their identity via two-factor authentication (2FA).  

By default, we require a verification code when the user first registers for 2FA and once per app install thereafter.  For additional security, you can require every login to be verified - for Portal users specifically or for all users.

| If you choose to require verification on every app login, your users will always require an internet connection in order to verify their 2FA code. |

Specify your preferred authenticator app, which will be recommended to your users during their 2FA registration process.

## Logging in with 2FA

After enabling 2FA, when a user logs in an initial registration will occur for the chosen authenticator and thereafter the authenticator's verification code can be provided.
