Settings (Basic): Two-factor authentication for Firm owner & Admin
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security when accessing TaxDome. The additional step of authenticating your identity makes it much harder for an attacker to access your data, even if your credentials have been compromised. In this article, you can learn how to enable 2FA for the whole firm and how to disable 2FA for your clients or team members in case they lose access.
Note! This article is for firm owners and admins only.
2FA inschakelen voor alle teamleden
As a firm owner or admin, you can choose whether your team members need to use two-factor authentication (2FA).
Om 2FA verplicht te maken voor iedereen in je team, doe je het volgende:
- Go to Settings > Firm settings from the sidebar menu.
- In the Two-factor authentication (2FA) section, select the Require 2FA for all team members checkbox.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Starting now, every firm employee must set up 2FA for their account and enter a one-time code when logging into the portal.
To deactivate this feature, clear the Require 2FA for all team members checkbox.
2FA uitschakelen voor klanten en teamleden
If your clients or team members can't log into the portal because they have lost access to the authentication app and don't know the code, they can click No access to application. Then, a firm owner will receive a notification via email, and a firm owner and admins can disable 2FA manually in the portal.
If you want someone else to receive 2FA disable requests, go to Settings > Firm settings from the sidebar menu. In the Two-factor authentication (2FA) section, enter the email address and click Save. However, remember that only a firm owner and admins can disable someone else's 2FA.
Zodra je weet dat een klant of teamlid problemen heeft met aanmelden, kun je 2FA uitschakelen.
