Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security-enhancing practice of requiring a person to perform more than one step, beyond email and password, for example, when logging into a system. This overview will walk you through the settings available.
NOTE: after an introductory period, ShulCloud will require MFA for Admins across the platform.
MFA Settings Overview
To find the MFA settings, go to Admin Menu > Settings > Edit MFA Settings.
In the MFA for Admins and MFA for Non-Admins settings sections, you specify two settings:
- Required (yes/no)
- Modes allowed
- Authenticator App
If MFA is required and a mode is not chosen, the system will default to All Modes which allows both email and authenticator app to be used.
In Other Settings, you specify three additional settings that apply to admins and non-admins alike:
- Remember Me Duration (hours)
- Code Expiration (minutes)
- Help Text
