leitzcloud attaches great importance to the security of your data. For this reason, we also give you the option to make your own security settings, for example to use Two-Factor Authentication. It adds a second verification step for logging into leitzcloud.

With Two-Factor Authentication, an authentication code is sent to the user via app or text message.

To log on to the Web Cloud or to use the Outlook add-on and the mobile app, the received code must be entered after typing in the user name and password.

Activation of the Two-Factor Authentication for users

Users can activate their personal Two-Factor Authentication individually.

To do this, open the account settings on the top right of the screen and click “Enable” at the Two-Factor Authentication.

Activation of the Two-Factor Authentication for organizations

If administrators activate Two-Factor Authentication for an organization, it applies to all users of that organization.

To activate, go to “Settings”, switch to the tab “Policies”, check the box beneath “Require two-step authentication?” and save your changes.

Next time the users log in, they are asked to adjust their personal authentication settings.

Now, Two-Factor Authentication will be required when registering a new device.

If an administrator deactivates Two-Factor Authentication for an organization, the users have to change their settings too if they want to deactivate it as well.
