2FA

On this page

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an additional layer of security to your DEUNA Admin account by requiring a second form of verification beyond your password.

2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access by requiring users to verify their identity using two different factors:

  • A known factor like a password or an id
  • An owned factor like an authenticator app, a phone, or an email

This protects against password theft, phishing attacks, and credential stuffing.

How it works#

DEUNA supports multiple 2FA methods to balance security and usability:

  • Authenticator App Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) generated by apps like Google Authenticator or Authy.

Requirements

2FA can be configured as optional or mandatory based on your organization's security policy:

  • Optional: Users can choose to enable 2FA for additional security.
  • Mandatory: All users must configure at least one 2FA method to access the platform.
