Two-step authentication for user login

Prev Next

From now on, DocuWare allows you to add an extra layer of security to your DocuWare accounts by providing a two-step authentication. With this feature activated, users must enter a six-digit one-time password each time they log in to DocuWare. They therefore need an authenticator app on their mobile phone such as Microsoft Authenticator or Duo Mobile.

Benefit

  • Higher security level for user login

Here's how

Step 1: An organization administrator enables the feature for the organization within the Security component of the DocuWare Configuration:

Step 2: The individual users activate the two-step authentication for the own account on the Security tab within Profile & Settings:

Options for organization administrators related to two-step-verification in the User Management component:

  • The list of users contains a new column called 2SV (two-step-verification) providing the information which users activated the option.

  • For an individual user, administrators can disable two-step-verification on the General tab. This is to ensure that users can log in to DocuWare even if they lost their mobile phone with the authenticator app.
