Enable multi-factor authentication

📘

Enabling MFA

MFA cannot be enabled at the organization level. Administrators must turn on MFA for users individually. This enables you to have a blend of authentication methods, which can be useful when you have users outside of your company (e.g. accountant or bookkeeper) accessing Modern Treasury.

🚧

MFA can only be enabled for organizations that are active in production.

To turn on Multi-Factor Authentication

1. Navigate to "Settings > Users" from the dashboard sidebar
2. Search for the user by name or email and open their profile
3. From the 'Actions' dropdown menu, select 'Edit'
4. Check the Require multi-factor authentication box
5. Click 'Update User' to finish

After turning on MFA for a user, the next time the user logs in, they will enroll in a second factor. Then in subsequent logins, the user will be prompted to enter their 2FA at login.

Time-based one-time password: this will be a QR code that the user scans with their Google Authenticator, 1Password, or any variety of password or authenticator apps
