# 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:
|
|
[Two-factor Authentication (2FA)](../profile/two_factor_authentication.md)
|
|
|
|
## Enabling 2FA
|
|
|
|
Users on GitLab, can enable it without any admin's intervention. If you want to
|
|
enforce everyone to setup 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`.

## 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:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Omnibus installations
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:two_factor:disable_for_all_users
|
|
|
|
# Installations from source
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:two_factor:disable_for_all_users RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: this is a permanent and irreversible action. Users will have to
|
|
reactivate 2FA from scratch if they want to use it again.**
