Email & Password with Enforced 2FA

Admin guide to enforced 2FA passkeys

The traditional email and password login method is available in Hive. For organisations that require it, admins can enforce Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) globally - meaning every user must verify their identity with a second factor (such as a code sent to their phone) after entering their password.

Enforced 2FA is the recommended approach for any organisation that uses email/password logins.

How to Enable Enforced 2FA

1

From your admin dashboard, open Account Settings → Authentication.

2

Scroll to the Email & Password section.

3

Ensure the Email & Password login toggle is turned on.

4

Find the Enforce 2FA for all users option and toggle it on.

5

Click Save Changes.


After saving, all users who sign in with email and password will be prompted to complete a 2FA verification step on their next login. They will receive a one-time code by SMS or an authenticator app, depending on their personal setup.

Tip: If your organisation primarily uses Social SSO, you do not need to enable Enforced 2FA separately. Social SSO inherits the MFA policies already in place for your Google or Microsoft workspace.
