Manage your account security

Use two factor authentication (2FA) for your account

Two-factor authentication adds a second step to signing in: a code you receive by email, or generate in an authenticator app. Any user can turn it on, and an admin can require it across the workspace.

1. Click your name at the bottom left, then open the Security tab in Account settings
2. Click Setup on either App authentication or Email authentication.
3. Once your authentication method is confirmed, download your backup codes and save these in a secure location. These are important to gain access to your account in case you change your phone number or lose your phone.
4. After the setup process is complete, you can add an additional authentication method (either App or Email authentication).

2FA using an authentication app

If you choose to authenticate using an authentication app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, etc.), scan the provided QR code or enter the provided code. You’ll then be prompted to validate the code generated by the app.

Enforce 2FA for all users on your workspace

As an Admin of Dotfile, you have the ability to enforce 2FA for all users in your workspace. To enable this:

1. Go to the Users List under Settings.
2. Open the Security tab.
3. Turn on the option to enforce two-factor authentication for all users.

Each user is then asked to set it up at their next sign-in, and the method they chose shows in the user list.
