Enforce two-factor authentication

The Two-factor authentication enforced for the whole company setting requires a second factor on every password login.

Two things to know before enabling it:

  • You can no longer disable the option yourself once it is enabled: contact Leexi if you need to revert.
  • For OAuth logins (Google, Microsoft) and SSO, the second factor is delegated to your identity provider: that is where it must be enforced.

If SSO login is already enforced for your company, this setting is greyed out — the identity provider then handles authentication end to end.

Set the password policy

The second block defines what a local password must contain:

  • Minimum length (characters): between 8 and 64.
  • At least one uppercase letter (ABC...)
  • At least one number (123...)
  • At least one special character (!#$...)

Each requirement applies as soon as it is saved, both when creating a password and when renewing one.

Authentication only covers login. To go further:

  • SSO / SCIM to delegate login and provisioning to your identity provider.
  • Permissions to frame what members can change themselves.
  • Roles and Access rules to frame what each person sees once logged in.

Going further

  • Enforcing SSO makes the local password policy irrelevant for the accounts concerned.
  • Two-factor authentication protects login, not call visibility: that is what access rules are for.
  • A stricter password policy applies at the next password change; it does not force an immediate reset.

Frequently asked questions

Things to watch out for

  • Enable two-factor authentication knowingly: the operation cannot be reversed without Leexi's help.
  • A very high minimum length combined with every character requirement multiplies reset requests.
  • Check that your administrators have a working second factor before enforcing it for everyone.
