# Two-step verification for user login

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.
