Force the activation of two-step verification (2FA) for Organization users

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

 

Preamble

  • Each Infomaniak user has the option to enable two-step verification for accessing their account, which significantly increases the security of all Organization services…
    • A legal representative can require this activation otherwise access to the Manager and Web apps will no longer be possible for the user.
    • 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 warn users in your Organization in advance, so they can continue to use the services.
  • If an external user does not wish to perform the operation requested by an Organization administrator, they can choose to leave instead of activating it.
