Second, you need to consider if you want your users in this group to be able to bypass verification for a certain amount of days.

Note: Since the bypass relies on website cookies, if the user clears their browser cache, they will be prompted to enter in a new verification code upon next login regardless of the number of bypass days.

 

Group Grid Display

Once you have enabled Multi-Factor Authentication for your groups, you will will see an indicator next to each group in the list.

  • Email

Note: If a group does not have an indicator, that means that this group does not have Multi-Factor Authentication enabled.

If a user is assigned to multiple groups with different delivery methods, only one method will be selected.  Here's the list of delivery methods in order of precedence.

  1. User Defined (if applicable)
