Two Factor Authentication

Recruitment Marketing Public

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security system that requires two distinct forms of identification to access an account, strengthening its security. Recruitment Marketing users now have the option to enable 2FA allowing them to add a second step to the login flow where they input a code from an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator. Google Authenticator is a mobile app that allows the user to fetch a key via QR code and, based on that key, generate a new code every 30 seconds.

Enabling 2FA

  1. Go to the User Settings Edit page.
  2. Click Enable, under the Two Factor Authentication header.

Displaying 2FA Enabled/Disabled

Whether 2FA is enabled can be seen on the "User Settings" screen. An organisation admin can see if a user in the company has 2FA enabled on the "User Management" screen as well.
