Authentication Flow

Enable to always collect all authentication factors before indicating a success or failure.

Enable if password reset is required, a change password request is sent once the OTP is verified.

Local User Password Storage

When disabled, FortiAuthenticator uses AES256 encryption for local user passwords.

When enabled, local user passwords are hashed using bcrypt.

With enhanced cryptography, cleartext passwords can no longer be recovered, and authentication requests requiring cleartext passwords for validation will fail. Enhanced cryptography can be disabled within 30 days of being enabled. After 30 days it cannot be disabled. FortiAuthenticator sends an email reminder to the administrator before the end of the 30-day period.

Local admin passwords are always hashed using bcrypt.

This option cannot be disabled after being enabled for 30 days.
