Two-factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication, is a security process that requires users to provide two distinct authentication factors to confirm their identity.
In our implementation of 2FA, users must provide two specific authentication factors when they sign in: their email/password combination and a one-time 2FA code generated by their chosen authentication method.
Supported Authentication Methods
Our system supports two authentication methods:

Administrators can enable either both authentication methods or select just one based on their preferences and security requirements. 2FA can be set as optional or mandatory for all users.
