  2. Follow your device's prompts to register the passkey

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Individual MFA Each user can enable multi-factor authentication from their Profile settings:

  2. Follow the setup process to configure your preferred authenticator app

Organization-wide MFA Administrators can require MFA across the organization:

  1. Enable "Require Multi-Factor Authentication"

  2. Set a grace period for users to enable MFA (optional)

IP Access Controls

You can restrict account access to specific IP addresses or ranges:

  1. Navigate to Company Settings

  2. Add allowed IP addresses or ranges

  3. Save changes

Once configured, users can only access the account from the specified IP addresses.
