Force the activation of two-factor authentication (2FA) for users in the Organization

Update 08/11/2026

This guide explains how to require users in your Organization to enable the two-factor authentication (2FA) feature, and then verify that it remains enabled.

 

Introduction

  • Every Infomaniak user can enable two-factor authentication for access to their account, which significantly increases the security of all the Organization's services...
    • A legal representative can require this activation, otherwise the user will no longer be able to access the Manager and web apps.
    • Access to desktop apps (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux) and mobile apps (application for iOS / Android smartphones or tablets) will always be possible without 2FA.
  • It is recommended to inform the users of your Organization in advance, so that they can continue to use the services.
  • If an external user does not wish to perform the action requested by an organization administrator, they can choose to leave the organization instead of enabling it.
