Two-Factor Authentication Screen

  1 minute read.

Two-factor authentication is time-based and requires a correct system time setting.

The Two-Factor Authentication screen, accessed from the Settings menu on the top toolbar, displays user-level two-factor authentication (2FA) settings. The screen shows a different message if 2FA is enabled than when not configured or disabled.

This screen allows users to configure, renew, or remove their individual 2FA secrets.

Global 2FA settings are configured on the Advanced Settings screen. For more information, see the Managing Global 2FA tutorial.

Actions

Configure 2FA Secret opens the Set Up Two-Factor Authentication screen that displays a QR code and unique key for use with an authenticator app. The screen includes a Skip Setup button.

Renew Secret changes the system-generated Secret and Provisioning URI values and generates a new QR code and unique key.
