Turn on multi-factor authentication at a system level

Before you begin

  • If you configure SSO in Contrast and also want to use multi-factor authentication, configure it using your identity provider (IdP), instead of Contrast. With SSO configured, Contrast passes the responsibility of authenticating users to the IdP.

  • For additional protection, organization administrators can set multi-factor authentication as required at the organization level.

Steps

  1. Under system settings, select Security in the left navigation.

  2. Turn the toggle on (green) to enable multi-factor authentication.

  3. Select Allow organization override to allow Organization Administrators to choose whether or not to require the feature for users.

Note

If a user belongs to multiple organizations, their default organization determines their multi-factor authentication settings.

A user can also choose how they want to receive multi-factor authentication notices.
