# Enforcing Two-factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication is a quick and easy way to further secure your Nexudus account. After successfully logging in with their email and password, admins are asked to confirm their identity by adding a unique code they receive on their phone.

You can enforce two-factor authentication for all admins in each of your locations using the **Security option** settings on the Admin Panel. Any admin who doesn't enable two-factor authentication in their account by the cut-off date won't be able to access your Admin Panel.

All you need to do is define a cut-off date by which all admins need two-factor authentication enabled.

1. Log in to [dashboard.nexudus.com](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/) if you aren't already.
2. Click [**Settings > Security options**](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/settings/6/0/0).
3. Enable the **Enforce Two Factor Authentication** toggle.
4. Define the cut-off date to enable two-factor authentication under **From date**
5. Click **Save settings**.

All done! Admins who don't have two-factor authentication enabled automatically see a banner at the top of the Admin Panel's home page. The banner pops up every time they log in until they enable two-factor authentication.

          What if new admins join the team or current admins miss the cut-off date?

          

All you need to do is move the cut-off date by a day or two to let your admins enable two-factor authentication.

*For example, if you have someone new joining on the 3rd of July, all you need to do is move the cut-off date to the 4th or 5th and let your new admin know they need to enable two-factor authentication within 24 to 48 hours.*
