Can I turn on two-factor authentication for everyone?

If you're an Administrator-level user, you can enforce 2FA for all of the users in your account.

📝 Note: For some countries and source accounting systems, two-factor authentication will already be mandatory. Learn more here.


​

  1. Select the 'Cog/Gear' icon from the black bar at the top of the 'My Companies' page
    ​
    ​

  2. Choose 'Organisation Settings' from the drop-down menu
    ​
    ​

  3. Select 'Security' from the left-hand side
    ​
    ​

  4. Switch the toggle to 'Enforce Two-Factor Authentication'

This will send a short email to all users in your account who do not yet have 2FA enabled.
​
Each user will be prompted to set up 2FA the next time they log in. They will be able to skip this prompt once, but only once.

Who has turned on 2FA?

To see who has 2FA turned on in their account, as an Administrator,

  1. Select the 'Cog/Gear' icon from the black bar at the top of the 'My Companies' page
    ​
    ​

  2. Choose 'User Management' from the drop-down menu
    ​
    ​

  3. You'll see a list of users on the account. If they have Two-Factor Authentication turned on, then a 'Lock' icon and '2FA' will be listed for them in the 'Security' column
