  • What it does

    2 Factor Authentication (module jrTwoFactor) adds a second step to logging in: after the password, the user enters a 6 digit code sent to their email address. A stolen password alone is then not enough to get into the account. It comes with Jamroom.

  • Using it

    • For members who want it: in Quota Config, check Allowed on Profile. Members of those quotas can then turn on 2 Factor Authentication in their Account Settings.
    • Required: in Global Config, Required For makes it compulsory for chosen groups, such as Master Admins, or for chosen quotas.

    If the code doesn't arrive, the login page has a resend code link. The code goes to the account's email address, so email from your site must work. See Email Support.

  • Require it for master admins at least: their accounts can change everything on the site.

  • Global Config

    Setting What it does
    Required For Groups and quotas that must use it: All Users, Master Admins, Profile Admins, Power Users, or chosen quotas (default: none)

  • Quota Config

    Setting What it does
    Allowed on Profile Members of this quota can turn it on for their own account
