From your HR account, you can activate two-step verification for different accounts:

  • For the main HR account

  • ​For an additional HR account

  • ​For a single employee

  • ​For all HRnest users in the company

For the main account of the HR Department:

Step 1

From the side menu, select the Configuration tab. From the Account data, select the Main account option.

Step 2:

Find the Two-factor authentication option and click the Edit button in order to change the settings.

Step 3

Tick the Two-factor authentication option, and save changes.

For the additional account of the HR Department:

Step 1

From the sidebar, select the Configuration tab. From the Account data tile, select Additional HR accounts.

Step 2

Select the account you wish to activate the two-step verification option from the list. Access the account details by clicking on the Actions button (3 dots) and then choose Edit.

Step 3

Tick the Two-Step Verification option and click Save to enable (or disable) this feature in the additional HR account.

For a single employee:

NOTE: In order for login using two-step verification to be possible, it is required that the employee’s email is assigned to the HRnest account.

Step 1

From the side menu, select the Organization tab. Find in the list the employee for whom you want to activate the login with two-step verification and click their name and surname to enter their profile.

Step 2

Go into Account configuration, and then edit settings in order to change the Two-factor authentication option.

For the whole company:

If you want all HRnest users in your company to have to log into the system using two-factor authentication, you can activate this feature from your HR Department account.

Step 1

From the side menu, select the Configuration tab. Then from the General settings tile, select Security.

Step 2

Find the Two-factor authentication option and click Change to enable or disable additional login security for all employees in the company using HRnest.
