Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances account security by requiring a second form of verification—an email-based One-Time Passcode (OTP)—in addition to a password. When enabled, users with Full Admin, Standard Admin, and Read-Only roles, are prompted to supply the additional OTP. This feature provides an extra layer of protection for accounts with administrator roles, safeguarding sensitive data and organizational settings.
For new organizations, MFA is enabled by default for admin users, ensuring secure access from the start.
To enable MFA, you must have a Full Admin role.
