Introduction : Two-step Authentication

QMetry’s Two-step Authentication is a simple best practice that adds an extra layer of protection on top of your user name and password. With two-step authentication enabled, when a user signs in QMetry, they will be prompted for their user name and password (the first factor - what they know), as well as for an authentication code from their two-step authentication device (the second factor - what they have). Taken together, these multiple factors provide increased security for your QMetry user account.

...

  • An “admin” user can make the Two-step Authentication mandatory for all the QMetry authenticated users on the instance.

  • For SaaS instances, the first user (super-admin) who registered for QMetry, can make the Two-step Authentication mandatory for all the QMetry authenticated users on the instance.

Note: This option should be enabled only when all users including admin have enabled two-step verification. Otherwise, any users not enabled with two-step authentication would be unable to login.

Steps :

  1. Go to Customization > General Settings & Audit. You will find the Two-step authentication section at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Enable the Mandatory Two-step Authentication option if you want to impose the two-step verification for all the users of the instance. Users will have to enter a security code in addition to their password at the time of login.
