# Enforce Two-factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor Authentication (2FA) provides an additional level of security to your
users' GitLab account. Once enabled, in addition to supplying their username and
password to login, they'll be prompted for a code generated by an application on
their phone.
You can read more about it here:

## Enforcing 2FA for all users
Users on GitLab, can enable it without any admin's intervention. If you want to
2018-12-05 23:21:45 +05:30
enforce everyone to set up 2FA, you can choose from two different ways:
1. Enforce on next login
2. Suggest on next login, but allow a grace period before enforcing.
In the Admin area under **Settings** (`/admin/application_settings`), look for
the "Sign-in Restrictions" area, where you can configure both.
If you want 2FA enforcement to take effect on next login, change the grace

period to `0`.

## Enforcing 2FA for all users in a group
If you want to enforce 2FA only for certain groups, you can enable it in the
group settings and specify a grace period as above. To change this setting you
need to be administrator or owner of the group.
If there are multiple 2FA requirements (i.e. group + all users, or multiple
groups) the shortest grace period will be used.

## Disabling 2FA for everyone
There may be some special situations where you want to disable 2FA for everyone
even when forced 2FA is disabled. There is a rake task for that:
```
2016-04-02 18:10:28 +05:30
# Omnibus installations
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:two_factor:disable_for_all_users
2016-04-02 18:10:28 +05:30
# Installations from source
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:two_factor:disable_for_all_users RAILS_ENV=production
```
2016-04-02 18:10:28 +05:30
**IMPORTANT: this is a permanent and irreversible action. Users will have to
reactivate 2FA from scratch if they want to use it again.**
