Two Factor Authentication

Two factor authentication (2FA) requires that a user enter a 6 digit security code whenever they log in. This is a temporary code which is generated and sent to the user's email address, and is valid for only 15 minutes. This feature prevents a malicious actor from logging in as an Administrator, Educator, or Student even if they have that user's password.

  2. Click on the Team Settings tab

  3. Scroll down to the Session Management section.

  4. Check the box next to Two Factor Authentication to enable the setting.
