Written by Arick Disilva

Teramind supports 2FA apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, etc. You can enable/disable 2FA for all users that log into the Teramind web dashboard from the Settings > Security screen:

  1. Click the Gear icon near the top-right corner of the dashboard.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Select the Security tab from the Settings screen.

  4. Scroll down until you can see the Dashboard authentication section. Click the FORCE USERS TO LOG IN USING 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION button to enable/disable it.

  5. Click the SAVE button when done. Next time any administrator or employee logs in, they will be forced to enable 2FA before being given access to their dashboard.

Note that, while this setting will enforce 2FA on all admins and employees upon the next dashboard login, Admins cannot fully configure 2FA on behalf of other employees. Employees have to login and enable 2FA using the QR code or secret key, along with an authenticator app. Check out the article, How to enable/disable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) for a user/employee? to learn how to enable/disable 2FA for regular users.
