Overview

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an additional security step to signing in.

When MFA is enabled, users must provide:

  • their password, and

  • a one-time code generated by an authenticator app

This reduces the risk of unauthorised access if login credentials are compromised.


How to enable MFA

To enable MFA for your workspace:

  1. Go to Settings β†’ Security

  2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

  3. Confirm the change

Once enabled, MFA is enforced for all users in the workspace at their next sign-in.

Note: Only workspace admins can enable or disable MFA.

Tip: Notify users in advance, before enabling MFA, to avoid disruption.


What happens for users

When a user signs in after MFA has been enabled:

  1. They enter their email address and password

  2. They are prompted to set up MFA (first sign-in only)

  3. They scan a QR code (or enter a setup key) in an authenticator app

  4. They enter the 6-digit code to confirm setup

  5. They continue into Konsole

After setup, users will be prompted for a one-time code at each sign-in.
