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, allows managing user-level two-factor authentication (2FA) credentials. It shows a different message if 2FA enabled than when not configured or disabled.

To configure 2FA settings go to the Advanced Settings screen. For more information, see the Managing Global 2FA tutorial.
