Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication, is a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves.
For our 2FA implementation of 2FA the authentication factors are the user email/password and the one-time 2FA code provided by the chosen authentication method.
2FA can be optional or mandatory for all users. The supported authentication methods are Authenticator App and Text Message. The Administrator can enable the use of both App and Text, or just one of the methods. 2 Step Verification can be mandatory for all users.
How to enable 2FA
The 2FA administration settings are located in RapIDadmin and are available to users that are granted the RapIDadmin:Administration:Settings permission.
