To help improve security, Local Insight now supports optional two-factor authentication (2FA) for users logging into your group.
What is 2FA?
2FA adds an extra layer of protection to your Local Insight accounts. When enabled, users in your group must enter a unique code (sent via email) after entering your username and password. This helps ensure that only authorised users can access your group, even if login details are compromised.
User permissions note
Only Group Admins can enable or disable 2FA via the Group Settings module.
How to enable and configure 2FA
Go to the Group Settings module.
Find the two-factor authentication section.
Toggle 2FA on or off.
Set the number of days 2FA remains valid for each user.
Tip
Group admins can set the number of days a 2FA login remains valid before users are asked to re-authenticate.
Note
Two-factor authentication is off by default.
When 2FA is turned on, users in your group logging in will receive a one-time code via email, which they must enter to complete login.
