2 Factor Authentication is configured in two spots:
- Configuration Keys
- Staff Details
Note: 2FA is enabled by Environment (QA, PROD), not by User – ensure ALL Staff have email/text entered before turning on!
Note: 2FA is by Staff login, not workstation and SMS is prioritized over email
- Cannot reorder prioritization
Configuration Keys
Set the following Configuration Keys:
EnableEmailNotifications – set to Yes
EnableMobileNotifications – set to Yes
EnableMobileTFA – set to Yes
Optional:
PromptForMobileTFAAfterTheseNumDays – controls how often Staff receives 2FA prompt. Numbers above 0 are how often Staff receive a 2FA prompt, in days. Default is 0 (zero). When the value is set to 2, a 2FA prompt will appear every two days.
- This is per Staff login, not workstation; will need to authenticate every time you login (regardless of workstation) if set to 0
- Values above 0 are 24 hour increments, not midnight to midnight
- If set to 2 and login Monday @ 11:43am, next prompt will be Wednesday @ 11:44am
