Force the activation of two-step verification (2FA) for Organization users
Update 05/05/2026
This guide explains how to require users in your Organization to enable the two-factor authentication (2FA) feature, and then verify that it remains enabled.
Preamble
- Each Infomaniak user has the option to enable two-step verification for access to their account, which significantly increases the security of all Organization services…
- A legal representative can require this activation otherwise access to the Manager and Web apps will no longer be possible for the user.
- Access to desktop apps (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux) and mobile apps (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet) will always be possible without 2FA.
- It is recommended to warn users in your Organization in advance, so they can continue to use the services.
- If an external user does not wish to perform the operation requested by an Organization administrator, they can choose to leave instead of activating it.
