Force the activation of two-step verification (2FA) for Organization users
This guide explains how to force users in your Organization to enable the double authentication (2FA) feature, and then verify that it remains activated.
Introduction
- Every Infomaniak user has the option to enable two-step verification for accessing their account, which significantly enhances 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 smartphone or tablet) will always be possible without 2FA.
- It is recommended to notify 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 operation requested by an administrator of the Organisation, they can choose to leave instead of activating it.

- Click on Send a security alert to send an automatic email to the user informing them of their various settings:
