Security Tab
The Security Tab provides the possibility to control security features:
Request password update → Hit the 🔒 Request password update button to receive the password update instruction and link to your e-mail.
Two-Factor Authentication → the following options will be presented depending on the 2FA status of your account, and whether 2FA is mandatory.
Request 2FA: If you do not have 2FA configured, hit the 🔒 Request 2FA button to receive the configuration link with details on how to set up 2FA.
Click Resend 2FA if you have requested the link (but not yet configured 2FA), and for any reason you wish to receive the configuration link again to your email.
If 2FA is mandatory in your organization, Request 2FA is not necessary, as you will be required to configure 2FA on your next login, unless you have already done so.
Disable: If you already have 2FA configured, the Disable button will remove the 2FA configuration, allowing you to log in without 2FA, unless 2FA is mandatory in your organization. This feature is commonly used when you have a new device and want to set up 2FA.
If 2FA is mandatory in your organization, even if you disable your 2FA configuration, you will be forced to configure 2FA again on your next login.
Configure 2FA for your Account
Two-factor authentication enhances the security of your account and minimizes the risk of unauthorized access to the system using your credentials, such as through password theft or hacking. You can access the 2FA Configuration page in one of the two following ways:
Follow the link in the e-mail received after you have clicked the Request 2FA button
If 2FA is mandatory in your organization, just log in with your credentials
Now, you need to set up the Mobile Authenticator to activate your account

FreeOTP
Google Authenticator
Microsoft Authenticator
#2 Open the installed application on your device, and scan the barcode presented on the configuration screen.

From now on, you will be able to log in to the platform by providing a one-time valid code (OTP) along with your username and password. Check out a step-by-step guide on how to log in with 2FA after it's been set up.
If you changed devices and now want to configure 2FA on your new device, then:
