How to setup "Two factor authentication"
In this short tutorial we guide you through the necessary steps to secure your application even further
What is Two-factor authentication?
2FA is a security mechanism, where you have to provide your passwort plus a second piece of evidence - in most of the cases via mobile phone.
M.App Enterprise
In M.App Enterprise you have the possibility to set 2FA at various places with the limitation that only TPA (Third-party authenticator) is supported.
That means as soon as you enable it you are forwarded to the following screenshot, where you have to scan the QR code and afterwards put in the first token you receive from the authenticator app.
You have two possibilities in M.App Enterprise for 2FA:
- optional - in Management / Studio / Apps in the user menu
- forced - the
Require two factorbox is checked in- Management - Tenant creation / edit
- Studio - Apps user creation / edit
💡
Because the users can only be forced one level lower in the hierarchy the Management user can't be forced to used 2FA
