Two factor authentication improves the security of accounts, preventing access when a password was leaked. It is advised to use this setting to protect sensitive data in your organisation. Only owners and admins can change this setting.

Enable two factor authentication

1. GoClick on your initials in the top right corner.
2. Select Settings besides your Pascal environment's name.
3. Navigate to the PoliciesProfile  page in the SettingsOrganisation .section.
4. Scroll down to the GeneralSecurity section in the PoliciesProfile page.
5. Toggle the Require multi-factor authentication via email button and press Save.

When the setting has been turned on all users will receive a verification code in their email which is required to login to their Pascal account. The verification code to login will be required once a month for each unique IP address.

When using Microsoft Azure,Azure to login to Pascal, the two-factor authentication will not be required on login.
