  4. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication and begin configuring your global settings.

 

Configuration Settings

First, you have to decide how everyone is going to be affected by your setting.

  • All Groups and Users - This setting overrides all User and Group configurations to conform to your Global configuration.
  • Configured Groups and Users - This setting permits you to set a global preference, but allows Groups or User Level settings to take precedence.

 

Second, you need to decide the delivery method.

  • User Defined - Upon login, the user will be given the choice as to which method to use in order to receive the verification code.

Third, you need to consider if you want your users 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.

 

Configuration Hierarchy

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)
  2. SMS Text Message
  3. Phone Call
  4. Email
