Enable/disable two-factor authentication for all users

You can enable or disable two-factor authentication for all users.

Warning

Enabling two-factor authentication locks out all editors until they can enter an authentication password. Ensure that your editors are trained and have an authenticator installed on their phones before enabling two-factor authentication at the system level.

To enable two-factor authentication:

Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings > Sites > Global.
Click search, located to the left of more_horiz, and type Two-Factor Authentication Required.
Toggle on the setting.
Click Save.
In the Enable Two-Factor Authentication widget, scan the QR code with your device. Your device displays an authentication code.
In the Code field, enter the authentication code.
Click Verify.

To disable two-factor authentication:

Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings > Sites > Global.
Click search, located to the left of more_horiz, and type Two-Factor Authentication Required.
Toggle off the setting.
Click Save.

Note

Individual roles and editors can enable two-factor authentication even if it is not required at the system level. For details, see Enable/disable two-factor authentication by role and Enabling two-factor authentication in your profile.
