Security settings

Require two-step sign-in for everyone in your workspace, and know what happens to people who haven't set it up.

Two-step sign-in protects accounts with a code from an authenticator app as well as a password. As the Owner, you can require it for everyone in your workspace.

Before you start: turn it on for yourself

You can only require two-step sign-in for others once your own account uses it. If you haven’t set it up yet, the Security section shows a reminder with a link to My Account → Sign-in & security, and the switch can’t be turned on.

  1. Open the link in the reminder, or go to My Account → Sign-in & security.
  2. Set up two-step sign-in with your authenticator app.
  3. Come back to Settings → Security.

Require two-step sign-in for everyone

  1. Go to Settings → Security.
  2. Check the count under Require two-step sign-in. It shows how many people already have it on, for example 3 of 8 people have it on.
  3. Turn on the Require two-step sign-in switch.
  4. If some people haven’t set it up yet, Bitrack asks you to confirm and tells you how many. Choose Require it.

You’ll see Two-step sign-in is now required.

What happens to people without it

From that moment, anyone in the workspace who hasn’t set up two-step sign-in is asked to do it before they can carry on:

  • The next time they open Bitrack, they land on My Account → Sign-in & security.
  • Until they finish setup, that page is the only part of Bitrack they can use. They can still sign out.
  • Once they confirm their first code, they can use Bitrack as normal.

People who already have two-step sign-in on notice no change.

Make it optional again

  1. Go to Settings → Security.
  2. Turn off the Require two-step sign-in switch.

You’ll see Two-step sign-in is now optional. People who already set it up keep using it. Anyone can then choose to turn their own off in My Account.
