Require two-factor authentication for all employees

Updated this week

HoorayHR values security highly, so you have the option to require two-factor authentication (2FA) for all your employees. This means they need to do an extra authentication step besides their password, usually via a mobile phone. HoorayHR uses the Google Authenticator app for Android and iOS. By making 2FA mandatory for all your employees, you ensure their login is much more secure.

How do I make two-factor authentication mandatory?

Follow these steps to enforce 2FA for all your employees:

  1. Log in to your HoorayHR account.

  2. Click on your Avatar at the top right.

  3. Navigate to Company Settings.

  4. Then choose Security. Here you will find the 'Two-Factor Authentication' feature.

  5. Enable the requirement for all your employees to use 2FA.

  6. Click Save.

Done! All your employees are now required to activate their 2FA before accessing their HoorayHR environment. You can disable the requirement for 2FA in the same way if needed.

Note: Once you turn off mandatory 2FA, employees can deactivate their 2FA themselves. You will then no longer be certain that all employees have 2FA enabled.
