Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security process that requires users to provide two distinct forms of identification before gaining access to FlexDeploy. Typically, this involves a combination of something the user knows (like a password) and something the user possesses (like a code provided by an authenticator or sent to their phone) to enhance the overall security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

By default, 2FA is not enabled for a new user. Each user must opt into 2FA by configuring it in the user’s profile. |

Remember a Device
2FA Remember Device in Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) allows users to bypass the second authentication factor on trusted devices for 30 days. With this option, users can experience a more seamless login experience on their trusted devices while still maintaining a strong level of security.

2️⃣ Remembered devices will always display on the users profile → security. You may revoke all or some devices if desired. Users should do this should they lose their phone or any registered device.

FAQ
Help I lost my authenticator device. How can I login?
...
From the 2FA prompt, click “recovery code” and then click send “new recovery code”. You should receive an emaily email shortly with your 2FA recovery code which you can enter on screen to login. Beware the recovery code will only last a short period of time.
Once you have logged in with the recovery code you should either disable 2FA in your Profile or reconfigure it with a new device.
Does 2FA work with LDAP?
...
Short answer is no. FlexDeploy does not handle in the login portion when Single Sign On is enabled and, therefore, we cannot provide 2FA. Check with your SSO provider for 2FA or MFA functionality.
