2FA: Overview & Verification Methods

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds a critical layer of security to Lucidya user accounts. In addition to a username and password, users must verify their identity using a second method before gaining access to the platform.

Who This Applies To

This guide is relevant to all Lucidya users — both Company Admins and End Users. Admins configure 2FA organization-wide; individual users manage their own setup from Profile Settings.

What This Guide Covers

  • How Company Admins configure and manage 2FA for all users across an organization.

  • How individual End Users set up and manage 2FA from their own Profile Settings.

  • The login experience once 2FA is enabled.

  • Edge cases, error handling, and account recovery.

Info: Verification codes are randomly generated, unique, and expire after 5 minutes. A countdown timer and a Resend Code option are always displayed during verification.
