Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

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's members and the org. admin by the org. admin from the Security tab of the Policies page: 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:

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.
