Turning on Two Factor Authentication for Your Employees

Two Factor Authentication (2FA) protects you by adding a second layer of defense to your HRIS portal. While passwords alone grant access by asking for “something you know,” 2FA takes this a step further by also requiring “something you have” to grant access.

This means that even if a bad actor has acquired your password, they will not be able to access your account unless they physically have your phone in their hand.

2FA For Administrators

Due to the sensitive nature of your payroll and HR information, 2FA is required for all user accounts with Administrative Privileges.

All Administrators must have both a phone number and email address on file. (We require both due to the frequency of email account breaches.)

A second form of communication ensures that even if one account is compromised, your payroll data will remain secure. Furthermore, if you would like additional security on your account, you will have the ability to add a secondary/backup email address.

2FA For Employees

If you would like to turn on 2FA for users/employees that do not have Administrator privileges, simply:

1. Sign in to your account
2. Select the HRIS Administration Module
3. Select Application Settings and check the box for Two Factor Authentication Enabled
4. Click Save
