Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-Factor Authentication requires users to enter a security code to log in to a portal. Users can choose to use FortiToken or have the security token emailed to them each time they log in.

FortiToken 2FA is enforced for all email account users if it has been selected at the Organization or Account level that the email account belongs to. If email 2FA has been enabled for an email account, it can continue to be used, although the email address cannot be changed and it is recommended that the user switch to FortiToken 2FA.

Note

For information on transferring tokens from one mobile device to another for 2FA, see the FortiToken Frequently Asked Questions guide.
