Enable Two-Factor Authentication

As an administrator, you can enable two-factor authentication for all users of the system via the PIM Administration Zone.

To enable two-factor authentication:

  1. On the header bar, click Admin.
  2. In the Search Admin Zones field at the top, enter Security Settings.
  3. Click the Security Settings link that displays.
  4. Under Two-factor Settings, select the Two-factor Authentication Required check box.
  5. Modify any of the following settings, if required:
    Setting Description
    Two-factor Code Grace Enter the number of 2FA time-based codes permitted either side of the current code.

    The default is 1.

    Two-factor Code Lifetime Enter the number of seconds that a generated 2FA code is valid for. When this time expires, a user must generate a new authentication code.

    The default is 30 seconds.

    Two-factor Setup Link Lifetime Enter the number of minutes that 2FA setup links sent to users via email are valid for. When this time expires, a user must request 2FA setup again.

    The default is 5 minutes.

  6. Click Save Changes.
    When users now log in to PIM, they will see an additional field on the log in screen. Users must enter a generated six-digit code from their chosen authenticator app into this field before they can log in.
