 +======Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)======
  
 +==last updated on: Aug. 20, 2020==
 +
 +The Enterprise File Fabric supports two-factor authentication. This can also be referred to as two-step verification or dual factor authentication.
 +
 +2FA is a security process in which the user provides two different authentication factors to verify themselves to better protect both the user's credentials and the resources the user can access. 
 +
 +If 2FA is turned then users first login with their password before and are then  issued a secondary authentication challenge.
 +
 +Two Factor Authentication can be turned on for all of a File Fabric organization' members and the org. admin by the org. admin from the Security tab of the Policies page:
 +{{ ::2fa.png?direct&400 |}}
 +The File Fabric supports three types of 2FA:
 +- Email - On each login attempt the user will be have to enter a one-time password that was emailed automatically to the email address associated with her File Fabric account when she submitted her user name and password during the login process.
 +- Phrase- On each login attempt the user will be challenged to enter a phrase that she has previously associated with her account for this purpose (more on this later).
 +- Authenticator App (TOTP) 
 +Select the type you want to use from the pulldown menu:
 +{{ ::2fa_dropdown.png?direct&400 |}}
 +
 +Once turned on users will have to login as normal and will then receive the second challenge. This will work from web, desktop and mobile apps.
