Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds a second step to sign-in, so a password alone isn't enough to get into Brevity. Admins can require MFA across the whole organization, give existing users a grace period to enroll, and see at a glance who's covered. ### Overview With MFA turned on, users confirm their identity with a second factor after their password. Brevity supports: - **Authenticator apps (TOTP)** — a rotating 6-digit code from an app like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or 1Password. - **Passkeys and security keys** — a device passkey or hardware security key, used as a second factor. - **One-time recovery codes** — a set of backup codes to keep somewhere safe, for when a user doesn't have their usual factor on hand. MFA is **off until an admin turns it on** for the organization, and enrollment is per user. ### What admins can do - **Require MFA across the org** so every user must set up a second factor. - **Set a grace period** for existing users, giving them a window to enroll before it's enforced. - **Enroll new users at first login** so they set up MFA when they join. - **See who's covered** from a single view of enrollment status across the org. ### Turning on MFA for your organization MFA is enabled per organization. To get set up, talk to your Customer Success Manager to turn on MFA for your account; then, as an admin, require it and set your grace period.  Once required: - **Existing users** are prompted to enroll and have until the end of the grace period to do so. - **New users** are prompted to set up MFA at first login. ### Enrolling as a user When MFA is required for your org, Brevity walks you through enrollment at sign-in: 1. Choose a second factor — an **authenticator app** or a **passkey / security key**. 2. Follow the prompts to register it. 3. **Save your recovery codes** somewhere safe. If you ever lose access to your second factor, a recovery code gets you back in. \[SCREENSHOT-2\] ### If your organization uses SSO or SAML If you sign in to Brevity through single sign-on (SSO/SAML), you keep authenticating through your own identity provider — MFA is handled there, and there's **nothing to change in Brevity**. Your identity provider's own MFA policy applies. ### FAQ **Which second factors can we use?** Authenticator apps (TOTP), passkeys and security keys, and one-time recovery codes as a backup. **We're on SSO — do we need to turn this on?** No. SSO/SAML organizations authenticate through their identity provider, which handles MFA. There's nothing to configure in Brevity. **What happens to existing users when we require MFA?** They're prompted to enroll and have until the end of the grace period you set. New users enroll at first login. **What if a user loses their phone or security key?** They use one of their one-time recovery codes to sign in, then set up a new factor. Encourage users to store recovery codes safely when they enroll. **Can an admin see who has set up MFA?** Yes — enrollment status across the org is visible in a single view. --- **Need help?** Reach out to your Customer Success Manager. -
