How to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in Usemaps?

15 0 0 28 May 2024

This is a security feature that reduces the risk of unauthorized access to the System and does not require any external software.

For 2FA to work correctly:

1. each user must have an assigned email address
2. Usemaps must have email sending configured

To enable 2FA:

1. Log in as the Administrator
2. Go to: Administration-> Settings-> Login
3. Select 2FA and choose a verification method (e.g. Email)

How does 2FA work in Usemaps for the user?

1. In the Login Panel, the user enters their login and password and clicks “Log in”
2. Next, Usemaps sends an email with a 6-digit code to the email address assigned to the User
3. The user will be taken to the next panel, where they can enter the received code
4. Only after entering the code will the user be successfully logged in and taken to the Map Panel.

Notes:

1. Once activated, this functionality applies across all access levels: via browser, desktop, and mobile.
