Enforce 2-factor authentication for all users
2-factor authentication (2FA) provides an additional layer of security to your account by requiring you to enter a code generated through an authenticator app or sent to you via SMS, immediately following the successful completion of the standard email+password login step.
Administrators of GoCardless accounts have the option to enforce 2-factor authentication for all users on the account:
-
Open your dashboard and click Settings
-
Next select Team
-
On the Team page click the Enforce 2FA button in the top right corner of the page
-
A window will open advising you that "2FA will be enforced permanently - This action cannot be undone. You will still be able to reset 2-factor authentication for specific team members"
-
To confirm the action you will need to enter your password and the 6-digit code from the authenticator app
-
Click Enforce 2FA to confirm.
This action will now ask all users on the account to create their 2-factor authentication the next time they log in. They are unable to override this unless they enable 2-factor authentication.
For more information on enabling 2-factor authentication, including information how to set up an authenticator app or SMS method, please see here.
