Two Factor Authentication

For increased security of user authentication, Altis supports the use of a second factor to authorize the login request. The Two Factor Authentication feature is enabled by default, though not required for all users.

To disable Two Factor Authentication, set the modules.security.2-factor-authentication setting to false.

Second factor authentication options are Email, Time-based one-time passwords and FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F).

Two Factor methods can be configured by each user in their Edit Profile page in the CMS.

Requiring Two Factor Authentication

The site can be configured to require all users enable two factor authentication, or set requirement options on a per-role basis. To require all users of the site enable two factor authentication set the modules.security.2-factor-authentication.required setting to true:

"altis": {
	"modules": {
		"security": {
			"2-factor-authentication": {
				"required": true
			}
		}
	}
}

Alternatively, to require two factor authentication only for specific user roles, define the roles in the modules.security.2-factor-authentication.required array:

"altis": {
	"modules": {
		"security": {
			"2-factor-authentication": {
				"required": [
					"administrator",
					"editor"
				]
			}
		}
	}
}
