Kishor , not sure if you still need this. But for future reference if anyone else needs to achieve this, I was able to achieve this through creating a workflow to automatically enable two factor authentication upon registration. See the screenshots below to see how I created this. The basic logic is:

If ((Contact.FirstName || Contact.LastName != NULL) & Contact.Email != NULL )

{

Contact.EmailConfirmed = True;

Contact.TwoFactorEnabled = True;

}

So anytime a user registers, Two factor authentication is automatically enabled.

Also use the following site settings to remove the ability for users to turn two factor authentication off

Authentication/Registration/TwoFactorEnabled

Value = False

Hopefully this helps. Have a good one

Hi

In general Two (Multi) factor authentication would provide additional security.

Example:

You login first using username password. In addition to this you would have to use (predefined) another method like OTP authenticator, or enter a code sent to your email or mobile SMS etc.
