2FA enforcement
Using 2FA protects from unauthorised access to a person's account and increases data security.
Due to Xero requirements, ApprovalMax enforces 2FA for all users that access Xero-connected Organisations.
ApprovalMax is now offering two types of 2FA enforcement:
- Soft enforcement: every time a user reloads a webpage, they will be prompted to set up 2FA. An email notification with a reminder will be sent additionally on a weekly basis:
- Hard enforcement: every user action will redirect the user to the 2FA enforcement webpage. An email notification with a reminder will be sent on a daily basis:
Administrators can choose between the two enforcement types on the Organisation page:
2FA enforcement is turned on for all Xero-connected Organisations.
For Organisations that are not connected to Xero, the enforcement of 2FA is optional.
Further information regarding the functionality and other available options will be disclosed at a later time.
