Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as the Bricr application. MFA is a core component of a strong identity and access management (IAM) policy. Rather than just asking for a username and password, MFA requires one or more additional verification factors, which decreases the likelihood of a successful cyber attack.
Setting in Bricr
The administrator has possibility to force MFA for all users.
[Settings] > [General > [General account] > [Preferences] > Force use of MFA
If administrator has not check that setting, you can set it for each individual user.
[Settings] > [Users] > select user > [Personal information] > Multi Factor Authentication
