When using a username and password to log into your account, you are only using single-factor authentication. This process is susceptible to security threats because it represents a single piece of information a malicious person requires. Two-Factor Authentication provides an additional verification level when logging into your account, ensuring that you are the only person who can access your information.
The Mandating Two-Factor Authentication feature allows you to make it compulsory for any manager and employee on your payroll platform to set up and use two-factor authentication when logging into their account. The payroll platform already makes it mandatory for any full access or reporting level users to have set up two-factor authentication on their account.

So you have now mandated two-factor authentication and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
- Payroll Platform: Granting Managers Restricted Access This feature allows you to create your own security groups based on what your managers need access to within your platform.
- Payroll Platform: Manage Employee Groups This feature allows to create a new employee group and specify the joining criteria such as being assigned to a specific employing entity.
