Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring more than just a password to log in. You can use an authenticator app from Google, Microsoft, Authy or simply use your email address.

Gridly offers the ability to set up 2FA for all members in your company or set it up only for your account. 

Enforcing 2FA for your company

By enforcing 2FA for your company, your team members must use a 2-factor authentication method before they can log in to Gridly.

Owner: Open Security settings

• On the project page, open Company settings →  Security, or you can open this link: https://app.gridly.com/settings/security
• Click Enforce in the Setting Two-factor Authentication (2FA) section.

Team members: Select 2FA methods 

Once enabled, your team members will be logged out from the company and asked to set up the 2-factor authentication before they can access the company. Select between 2 methods: Authenticator app and Email address.
