Two-factor Authentication (2FA) is a method of
confirming your identity by utilizing an information like password and a
second factor in the form of a code through apps like
Authy®.
Administrators have the option to enable or enforce Two-factor authentication.
Below sections explain both cases — when two-factor authentication is enforced or only enabled.
2FA Enforced
If the administrator has enforced two-factor authentication, you are
required to set it up immediately after you log in for the first time.
You cannot use the application until you set up 2FA on your account.
