Enabling and Disabling MFA
By default, your Impossible Cloud Storage account doesn't have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled. However, turning on MFA is a snap and it significantly boosts the security of your account.
To enable MFA:
Navigate to the 'Profile settings' page.
Click the "Multi-Factor Authentication" switcher button to enable MFA. You'll notice the switcher turn green, indicating that MFA is now active.
Once you've enabled MFA, you'll be asked to set it up at your next login. You'll need an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or similar, on your device. This app will generate a unique code every time you log in to your Impossible Cloud Storage account. Without this code, you won't be able to access your account.
If you want to disable MFA:
Go to the 'Profile settings' page.
Click the "Multi-Factor Authentication" switcher button to disable MFA. The switcher will turn grey, indicating that MFA is now inactive.
Please note, disabling MFA will revert your login process to using only your username and password.
If you enable the "Enforce MFA policy to all users in your organization" checkbox and confirm the change, the MFA becomes mandatory for all subusers, making it impossible for any subuser to disable MFA.
