We have recently updated the Two Factor Settings page in our new UI to make it more user-friendly. The new page now features three clear and concise steps to guide users admins through the setup process. In order to make advanced settings for each two-factor authentication (2FA) method more accessible we have moved method-specific settings from the advanced Advanced settings tab to the main page in the Setting Icon of the respective method cards. We believe that these updates will improve the overall admin’s usability experience and make it easier for them to set up 2FA for their organizations.
