How do I troubleshoot and reset Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in Re-Leased?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a mandatory security feature in Re-Leased that enhances account protection. Below, we address common issues and provide guidance on resetting and managing 2FA.

Why can’t I see the “Reset 2FA” option for a user?

The "Reset 2FA" option only becomes available after a user has set up 2FA on their account. If 2FA has not been enabled yet, there is nothing to reset, and the reset link will not appear. Since 2FA is mandatory, users who have not yet set it up will be prompted to do so during their next login. They must follow the on-screen instructions to link an authenticator app or a security key. Users can link their authenticator app by scanning a QR code or entering a setup key, providing flexibility in the setup process.

Can 2FA be disabled in Re-Leased?

No, 2FA cannot be disabled for users logging in via the web application. If a user is unable to log in due to issues with their current 2FA setup, the only option is to reset 2FA. Once reset, the user will be prompted to set up 2FA again during their next login. If the user encounters an invalid PIN or 2FA code during login, they should use the reset link sent to their email to resolve the issue.

What should I do if my 2FA reset link expires?

2FA reset links are time-sensitive. If your reset link expires before you can use it, you will need to request a new reset link. Follow the prompts in the email to complete the reset process. Additionally, check your spam or junk folder if you do not see the reset email in your inbox. Ensure your email address is up-to-date to receive reset links promptly.

Steps to Reset 2FA in Re-Leased

  1. Navigate to the user management section in Re-Leased.

  2. Locate the user whose 2FA needs to be reset.

  3. If the user has already set up 2FA, select the "Reset 2FA" option.

  4. The user will receive an email with a reset link. Ensure they use the link before it expires. Advise the user to check their spam or junk folder if the reset email is not visible in their inbox.

  5. Once reset, the user will be prompted to set up 2FA again during their next login.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage and troubleshoot 2FA issues in Re-Leased. Remember to act quickly when using reset links as they are time-sensitive, and ensure users re-link their 2FA to avoid future issues.
