How can employers enforce two-factor authentication (2FA) for their employees, contractors or company admins?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your Remote account by requiring team members to verify their identity using a code from an authenticator app, in addition to their password.

As a company admin, you can require employees, contractors, and other admins in your company to enable 2FA. This helps enforce your company’s security policies and protect sensitive data.

Step 1: Go to your company’s security settings

  1. Sign in to Remote.

  2. Select Company settings from the main menu.

  3. Under the Security section, select Two-factor authentication (2FA).

Step 2: Choose who must use 2FA

On the 2FA settings page, you can choose which groups must use two-factor authentication:

  • Use the toggle switch next to Employees, Contractors, or Company admins to turn on enforcement for that group.

  • Once enforced, those users must complete 2FA setup before accessing their Remote account or taking sensitive actions.

Step 3: Your team’s login experience

Once enforcement is enabled, affected users will be prompted to set up 2FA at their next login. They’ll see a message requiring them to complete the setup using an authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy).
